I strode one day through the luscious forest of life, and amidst the fresh droplets of spring morn, I found a harsh and lonely creature. "My name is despair," he told me. And surely he told no lie, for every moment that I spent breathing in his dust, I fell further into misery. I stumbled away, he following me like a shadow, miring in all that would be, until I had so far lost my footing that I knew not which way to turn. I tripped and staggered one day, across the dusty plains of understanding, and in the remains of the debris, the cracks and crevices splitting the earth asunder, I heard yet a soft whisper–so soft, indeed, that the voice of despair nearly drowned her out. "I am hope," she told me. Weary from my sorrow, I crumbled to my knees. Bitter salty droplets of despair fled from me to such a degree that I feared they may drown the grain of hope. But surely, she told no lie. For she stood, growing in height until she could wrap watery arms around me. And in the cool freshness of her fragile embrace, I heard her say, "Despair may hide hope for a time, but in the end, hope shines through the darkness of despair." Taking my hand, she brought me to my feet, and though despair followed us all the way, hope held my hand, a lantern in the darkness of the land of understanding, until I reached the other side.

Is it tardy to stay up, be awake? Sinking near the shores of mistakes "You can't do it" is what they stated They disturb thou to lose your way. ☾ M. E. Kuşaslan ✩ @lightinthedarknesspoetry

you can't make everyone like you
My screams were cutting my ears Those walls were teetering my fears Could not stand near or to here Wanted to show my heroes. Lost my innocent dreams when listening to everyone else, what they've been saying. They threw up on me their bullets. Then they threw me into the holes. Tried to breathe but I was under the ocean The voice I heard told me "That's impossible." Something in me was becoming invisible That's how I lost myself in the last battle. Lost hope and a vast amount of friends They were influencing all the weekends Days weren't including any happy ends They took something in me till it ends. Wanted to escape from this maze. Locked into the prison of the mind Started looking to the beginning. Suddenly the fears stopped when I realized that I wasn't injured I was not broken, faded inside. They will always be there Promised me not to hear What they add more to my fear. ☾ M. E. Kuşaslan ✩ @lightinthedarknesspoetry

"they"
Out there Just walking Thinking of Why I was hiding Tasting the weather It's pretty cold Lip-syncing to Another song The moon looks calm Stars are blazing I want to hear a music full of dreams Hopes and diamonds Light in the darkness Never was a warrior Still want to fight There is a fork in the road. A fork will set us both. Don't want to go back Know that it's too late; Still, now I can be Whoever I want ☾ M. E. Kuşaslan ✩ @lightinthedarknesspoetry

They're loathing it; I'm floating in it. I've got so many questions in my heart. Gotta go. Swim further, Dive deeper. Got these concerns, they are eating me alive. Can't feel my senses, I might lose this fight. Gruesome, fearsome, it's like my head puts me in the worst scenarios. Hurricane of thoughts. Acrid, dark, deep, the pain tries to dominate. Guilty, I feel guilty. I made mistakes. Can I expend the border of my heart and open it for love? Someone lives inside of my mind. It tries to control me, who hangs out there like its habitat. I want to put an end to this; don't want to live with fear. God created me. I didn't exist before; Mustn't waste my time. This world remains temporary even the pain which seems unbearable instantly. It will be gone, go away like all the things in life. ☾ M. E. Kuşaslan ✩ @lightinthedarknesspoetry

acclaim to the one who got disapproval for regarding what’s right although who is autonomous, agile; persistently willing to fight does not allow an excuse to alter its brain; just asserts the light there is nobody like you on the site who elicit a resilient knight raise your head, but never have arrogance in your heart use that confidence in you to empower other people around beginnings are over, may not always restart the first part you can move forward with your faith & be crowned ☾ M.

Hey guys, I published my first book on January 1st, 2020. I was excited about this project that's why it was challenging for me to not talk about it but today finally I can reveal that my book is out now. You can buy the paperback and Pre-order the kindle E-book version of my first poetry book: "Light In The Darkness" Light In The Darkness. It's a journey where you can package your thoughts into a suitcase and set them free on the top of the mountain when looking to the cloudy skies with the lights far from each other. That tour might be shorter than you thought, it's a world with adventures: different knowledge behind each leaf, new faces behind the tall green trees, between all of them you are going to the path to find who you are. Available on Amazon & Google Play 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘 Link is down there.

See the ranting of the man, They think he's angry with them. He finds it's hard to see in the wind, Overshadowed by the fearsome rind. He never falls asleep Villagers think he is blind He never walks with a flock Dragons knock; wolves mock. He'd like to listen to one crake All night; waits for it to be awake When the crake starts singing its song He realizes how to stop the *chimaera. It's his painkiller, painkiller He doesn't need any filler Now his heart has a thriller He no longer wants to be a killer. ----------------------------------------------------- *Chimaera is a mythological creature that is a combination of lion, goat, and snake. ☾ M.
