My Light
The road in front of me is covered by fog
I’m unable to determine anything
I look back, at the memories I’d made
But I have to keep moving forward
Occasionally a light will appear
Bringing happiness to my heart for a while
Then I manage to push the light away
Leaving me in a helpless fog once again
A rock stubs my toe and I fall to the ground
Tears well up in my eyes, but I push them away
“I can’t cry, not now” I think as I wipe my eyes
I fill my mind with happy thoughts, numbing the pain
I stumble through the fog, wishing for something
Wishing for a steady light to stay with me forever
“But that can’t happen,” I scold myself
And I push forward, blindly through the fog
My trust has shattered into millions of pieces
No light could ever be able pick them all up
And put them back together again
No light has ever known my pain
But suddenly, there’s a light in my heart
I think I’m fooling myself, just like all the other times
But this one slowly gets stronger as time progresses
Slowly the fog around me doesn’t make me feel small
It’s because the steady light in my chest reassures me
Once I tried to push the light away, before I hurt myself
But after a while the light came back, stronger than before
And I didn’t want to push it away anymore, I really didn’t
I had found happiness in fiction and dreams
But this light provided something I have never known
This light has made me truly happy
Truly happy than any light has ever made me
So when I trip again on a rock
I think of my special light
And I feel a little better
And it helps me up again
I know my light won’t last forever
Because nothing ever does
But I will always try and cherish it
And I thank my light for it
