Walking.
Through the forest.
Dark, cold, damp.
Enclosed.
No end in sight.
I panicked.
I thought it would never end,
all I wanted was to see light.
To stop walking.
I needed it to end.
He comforted me,
told me to breathe,
promised it was nearly over.
He promised it would get better.
Soon.
He was right.
Soon,
I saw the light,
in the distance
through the trees.
I saw light emerging.
It was true.
Everything was going to be okay.
Safely now,
in the light,
I looked back.
It was dark.
Black.
Life was drowning in there,
drowning in the darkness.
I turned and walked.
I walked
once again.
But not toward the darkness.
I walked to
light.
To happiness.
I am okay.
Now that I see the light,
I know that.

I do so love it when beautiful messages like this are shared so eloquently. Your poetry is something special. x
And me! Truly beautifully expressed. I agree that your poetry is special.
Can I tell you that this darkness is what scares me about having another child? How do you stop the darkness from coming back?
Gorgeous, hon. xxx

You're walking towards the light but it's also inside you, emanating outwards. x

Just beautiful x
What a lovely poem - you are awesomely talented!
It's always such a powerful thing when we realise, no matter how much it doesn't feel like it, that pain, sadness, darkness will never last like we think it will
That was beautiful, and so timely at the moment for many people.
