Walking in the dark
Both scared and comforted
Looking deep into my heart
Could things have been under estimated?
Desperate for an escape
Yet wishing to linger
Never have I felt so much hate
Sharp and real as a stinger
My friend and enemy
A hard thing to comprehend
And yet more simple then it seems
The light calls from a distance
Full of joy and hope
A voice screams "Wait don't!"
"The light may bring joy but
vulnerability as well."
My response is "Freedom is better
than this hell."
