Alone amidst the shadows,
A zone where light seeks solitude,Expressions cease to exist,And reason becomes illogical.Death becomes irrational,Taking the lives of the innocent;As the thought of living brings about fear unparalleled.Faith is suffocated by thorny bushes,Prematurely nurtured only to perish in its prime,Confidently falling back to allow the "The Norm" to proceed,Smiling to mask the pain unbearable.Where is my light?Outstretched hands I frantically grasp the unreachable.My heart calls to me, "I am here!"My spirit yells, stay strong and believe!"From within a flicker of light shines faintly.A warmth so soothing tears overwhelm me."Why are you here amongst the shadows?Why do you evoke death to rob you of what is unique to you?I shine only for you, why have you forsaken me?Love me as I love you,Cherish me, Adore me,Comfort me,For I am you."Alone in the shadows I am guided beyond its gates,Free of my sorrows I am able to navigate towards long awaited joy.Confidently I walk pass those who follow the same path;Even though sin corrupts meI will never let go of the light He has blessed me with.The journey continues...
