The flames surge and spread, surrounding me
Smoke clogging my throat crumpled on the ground
Everything is ashes, burned away every place to flee
Doomed, I ignite, unable to make a sound
Shadows and Nightmares out on prowl
Their suffocating aura crushing my ambition
Darkness creeping closer ever foul
Lost and alone, praying for the sun
Yet despite how deep I had sunk
Regardless of how I felt utterly overwhelmed
My hopes and dreams hadn't shrunk
To my fate, I would never be condemned
So each and every time I will fall
Once again I'll climb and stand tall
I have to fight just to fight
To keep myself truly alive
Tear my way through this night
Live to hope for the light

Very nicely said. We all are straining to reach the light!
Thank you, and hopefully, we'll continue to do so!
Nice rhyme and rhythm PB! I discerned two types of light in your poem. One in the form of a smothering and destructive fire and the other in beckoning light that leads. There is no confusion in which one is chosen.
Thank you very much, Gary! I'm glad you understood 😀
Inspirational for those who feel down and out, that from some where even after being burned to a crisp we can come back even stronger. I read your bio. At 14 I could not write a decent sentence. Kudos young man.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it Aug!
