When life gets dark
and everyone you loved
        is gone …
it hurts to breath,
it pains to rest,
        you scream, you run

you fight yourself
        while silence rumbles,
it boils your blood,
        it floods your ears,
you’re deaf,
        not dead yet … tiny crumbles,
of past that’s gone come back,
        bring tears

it was
        unreal,
        dream,
        illusion,
let sorrow settle, let the pain,
deliver final blow,
        confusion
will cloud your mind,
        you now insane

you try to leave,
                                to draw the line,
with ink, both bold and bright
But wait, it can’t be right!
the page is black … it’s not the light
                                you blind

alone …
        with hands extended,
you start to walk, you calm your fears,
you want to live, and you are tempted,
by something no one ever hears

your heartbeat …
        keep it going,
it gives you life with soft caress,
it’s yours,
        desire’s growing
to find your way by cheating death

one tiny step …
        one simple move
you taste your sweat
        no need to prove
you are the best
one more, some rest ...

It’s cold and lonely, but remember
“don’t let IT tell you who you are”
you are your only true defender
        The violence in universe
        will give the birth
to brightest star

already born,
        its light will travel
to find you and for many years
to see it
        walk or ride in saddle,
fly high without any fears

Don’t ever hesitate,
                                leave darkness
Go there …
        where warmth and kindness
will take you in
                        and care for you
You’ll hear again,
                they cure your blindness
become reborn,

                        feel loved and new
Dedicated to survival of the events that were forced upon me and a woman I love dearly
