My Strength Will Never Stop

by Shaw   Dec 7, 2005


Working my way to freedom
Its the only way out of here
Its going to take a long time
But in the dark; a light will appear

My light flickered out long ago
And for a long time Ive been alone
But Ive tried to find a match
Its so dark; No scars have shown

So in the dark; they hide away
I can only feel the tears on my face
And the pain beats inside my heart
Barley feel my soul; Falling from grace

But I'm searching hard; until i fall
And i will fight my way out
Ive given up screaming; and shouting
And given up living in doubt

I have buried that knife; deep under
And the blood still lies on the blade
But no longer; does it come from my wrist
But i know the scars; one day will fade

But the memories will live on
And i know somethings i never forget
And being who i was and who i am
Is something i wish to never regret

My hands stumble upon a match
And i light the candle; shines bright
I look around; tears fall from my eyes
And my eyes blink; in feel for light

My hands are scratched and scarred
but the light shows only the truth and fear
I look into my mirror; and touch my face
And tremble as i am here

The light shines bright; and strong
And shows the world threw my eyes
No longer is the sky gray but blue
And no longer does my mind wish to die

I fought my way to freedom
I will fight all the way to the top
The light will never flicker
And my strength will never stop

I hope you like

    I really do like this poem. It talks about a difficult struggle, but then a victory. That was really great to end positively, and it was great encouragement as I am trying to quit cutting and I am going through some major withdrawl, and yeah so I really liked this poem! Great job.
