The forest was dark in the light of day

Without you in my life, I thought for sure I would perish.

Those shadows almost ate me.

But I always kept the faith that everything would be okay.

Still, I do as I choose to walk slowly into the meadows where I can be seen.

It's a dangerous world but I feel safe.

Ish.

That's why the faith.

That's why I continue forward toward that light.

I didn't much like the shadow side.

Though I think I am strong enough to handle it now.

Or perhaps I'm just turning my back to it as the sun shifts it's rays.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I don't know about the title. I hate titling. It was the first words that popped into my head.

the title

Is powerful and evocative, and it adds an entirely different element to the poem.  I can't imagine what you might try to replace it with.  I would keep it if I were you.

 

I only changed a title on one of my poems, only once, and that one really did have a bad title.  Though the new title was only marginally better.....

Thank you! I will keep it. Pretty much describes the truth anyway. 

 

I made the dumbass mistake of trying to edit my poems and butchered them. Seemed to be better left alone. Oh well. Appreciate your comment. Nice to see you here.
