Light & Dark

,The water is deep
.dragging me underneath

.I can’t see. I can’t hear. I can’t feel. I can’t scream

,There’s nothing but shadows
,darkness
.and cold

,I flail, and I fight
.and I reach for the light

,It’s kind, and it’s warm
.and it’s safest from all

,But it’s so far away
.and I don’t know the way

,The darkness is terrible
.but I know it so well
,It’s part of me
.and I of it

,The light is like hope
,fragile and gentle
.yet so unknown

,And it’s funny, it’s sad
.but I’m scared of the light

,I can see it, almost reach it
.but it’s as far as I can go

.I’m scared, but I want
.I fight, but I’m not
.I reach, but I draw
.I can, but I won’t

,There’s something inside me
.something the blocks
,Something so deep rooted
.it’s like it’s my own

.But I want it gone
.I want it out
.I want the light
.I want to fight

.So I stand there, just out of reach
…Waiting
.For something to breach
