I remind myself
The light at the end of the tunnel
Is only light
The light at the end of the tunnel
Is only light
And the tunnel
Is only the sum of my fears
Confining me
Tag: fear
Corridor Dreaming
I dream of corridors
Every one different
But all the same
Every one different
But all the same
The light is soft
Though harsh
Streaming in
Through doors
All open
On the right
An inviting light
Nonetheless too bright
And as I tread
Ever-so-gingerly
Down the corridor
Teardrops
It was a time
When the tears fell so hard
They flowed together in torrents
All emptying into
A vast ocean of sorrows
When the tears fell so hard
They flowed together in torrents
All emptying into
A vast ocean of sorrows
While I tried to be brave
Standing on sorrow’s shore
Adding my own tears
To the deluge
Seeing
She looked at me
No
Through me
No
No no
She looked into me
Deeply
She looked into me
Into a place
No one had looked before
Resistance ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #47
Resistance is necessary
Violence is not
Violence is not
I will be the willow
And not the hammer
I will be the water
And not the rock
Where there is hate
I will love
Where there is greed
I will give
The Walls I Erect
The walls I erect
To protect myself from others
Define me
To protect myself from others
Define me
After a while
All anyone sees of me
Is the walls
After a while
All that is left of me
Is the walls
Naked
Sometimes
I feel so naked
Exposed
And alone
Like in the dream
Where you’re at school
Or at work
Without any clothes on
And you’re the only one
And you can’t figure out
Just how you got to be there
Without any clothes
fireflies
The fireflies
In the bottle by
My bed at night
Twinkle like
The stars outside
In the bottle by
My bed at night
Twinkle like
The stars outside
They power dreams
Of boyhood flight
To other worlds
Beyond the stars
Shipwrecked
Like shipwrecked sailors
Striving for the beach
Bodies too heavy
For the surface
Only the force of will
Keeping them afloat
Striving for the beach
Bodies too heavy
For the surface
Only the force of will
Keeping them afloat
The will to live
Or the will to not die
Courage or fear
(I’m unsure which)
Drives them to the beach
Lungs filling with salt water
Muscles spent
Energy exhausted
