Lonely dispair
By DePriest
Forgive my hands that are shaking
that's why I have hidden away
I'm ashamed for you to see me now
it shows how far I have
gone astray
Each day is a constant struggle
darkness
battles against the light
I don't know why you love me
but it keeps me in the fight
I'm tired of the dark
I hunger for the sun
In the light you'll find me now
the battle is almost won
Keep me in your prayers
show me that you care
Extend to me your hand
shortly
I will be there.

This was actually from a very dark time in my life and my very first poem in years. Only just sharing it now.Awards

Loved it. Very emotional and filled with constant struggle. Darkness versus the light and you versus the world.

Thanks Shadowking, was from a much earlier stage in my life. But the true meaning is there is always hope no matter how lost you may feel at times.
