My Light Knight

Clara

I have walked the straight and narrow

26 years and still I aim

To keep my gaze steady and not compete

Resist the temptation, the ending, that I seem to seek

One day soon you will cross my path

Your head held high

Beliefs clasped tight against the cross  

Inside my dark mind, among twisted thoughts 

I will pray that you see me

This lost wandering sheep 

Can you help me? 

Your world is black and white 

I've began to see the grey, the pain

Darkness 

I don't think you realise 

It's everywhere. 

I am not who I used to be 

I am not who I should be 

Please see me, embrace me in your light 

I stand here, wearing a painful smile

And the shadows... 

They're reaching and without you 

I am weak 

Hello

You there, with your righteousness

Your steadfast ideals and golden heart 

I dare you 

See me

See me and claim me for your own

Lead me back towards the light

A member of your flock

Just don't let me go

Keep me close, stay by my side 

I am a flight risk 

A high risk, since 

I broke my wings when I fell 

I keep falling and it hurts

Help me up and lead the way 

By your side I'll always be 

You see, My Light Knight 

My saviour... my life 

I refuse to believe I lost this fight

And with you

I just may stand a chance.

    The world is and will never be black and white. Give me those shades of grey for they are realistic. And we are all fallible, making the best of what comes along...... the more we dwell upon these situations, the wiser we become.

    Someone in our past who seemed to have all the answers wasn't always right. Is anyone always right?

      I hear you loud and clear DA, I prefer the shades of grey as well. For within those, there is room to grow and accept and love. Thank you for stopping by and commenting!

      Clara, your poem drew me in. No matter who, what, where we are, there is always hope. Especially like your last line.
