PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I stumble in the dark

And my heart stops as the earth rushes to meet me



I throw my hands out to catch myself

and slam into the ground



I lay there in the dirt

I feel at home



The opportunity presents itself

so I rest

There on the cold, hard ground



I started down this path

With one thought in my mind



"She's there, waiting"



Doubt crawls up my spine

And makes its home in my head



"No she isn't... she's happy with him...

no matter how much I try, how much I do...

I'll be in this constant state of heartbreak



Forever..."



I swallow the lump in my throat

And push myself upward



Back on my feet

I'm driven forward by pure adrenaline



I focus on that light, flickering ahead of me

And drop into a dead run



"I'll never give up, not so long as I live"

The light is so far away... but I'll push

Push until I reach it



No matter how much doubt, or fear I encounter



I WILL make it to that light
