Light at the End

The Poet

We live so close, but yet so far

Nothing can change who we are

We fight and struggle every day

Always listening to what others say

We try to hide the voices in our heads

But they follow us to our deathbeds

It’s so hard to hide

We are scared of what’s inside

We run away from who we are

But the sad thing is, we never get very far.

We fall into a deep depression

Our parents worry, and we go to a session

It’s not our fault that we are like this

We all, at once, were at bliss.

People pushed us to what we are now

None of us even know how

It always starts off as we were friends

But somehow it all ends

Words are said and the bridge is burned

Something happens where the tables turn

The bridges are attempted to be repaired

It lasts for a little bit but then it falls and becomes crumpled

After the words are said we spiral downward

Our spirits are crushed and we become cowards

Clinging to the shadows that hide on the wall

We stay with the darkness through the long haul

We believe that it’s our only friend

But it only leads us to more dead ends

As we cling to the shadows, a light emerges

We walk towards it and try to purge

We want to hide our past and meet someone new

A person who will stick with us through and through

A person who loves us for who we are.

Who doesn’t care about our scar

A person who loves us no matter our burdens

Someone who won’t shut the curtains

Someone who accepts our past, and looks forward to our future

A person who gives us structure

When we find that person, everything seems lifted.

People who are like that are truly gifted.

But then again, it’s not really a talent

They are all so valiant.

But it seems like they help us because we love them

They will never cut our stem

They will help us grow to the sky

Help us grow wings and fly

Always look for the light in the end

It doesn’t matter if you lost a friend

You can make many others

They will be as close to you as big brothers

Look for the light at the end

    I can't even lie, I dropped a tear while reading this. With me being at such a low time in my life, your poem is almost like a support system trying to reassure me that everything will be okay eventually and for that, I thank you!
