I stood in the corner
of my tiny room,
scared of the light
that followed me
wherever I went.
I pulled my curtains,
hiding inside, holding
on to darkness, taking
comfort in misery
when sunlight crept in
through the tiny opening
in my curtains.

Terrified of the light,
I buried my face in
my hands.
Sunlight colored my fingertips,
pricking my eyelids.
I felt the light
with closed eyes,
flooded by its warmth,
its positivity and grandeur.
No longer fearful,
I shed the comfort of darkness
and stepped on
the path of light.

I feel comfort in the dark. Not because I dread the light, but because light can provide too many distractions. In the dark we often see more clearly than in the light.
(Just instant thoughts/first thoughts upon reading.) Won’t be writing a dissertation. lol
True. I like the night, infact. It helps me think better. Thank you, Ladysighs. Your thoughts are always welcome.
You could be writing about my rebirth in 2006. Beautiful, touching, hopeful…I love this.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment. I am glad this poem resonates with you.
Beautiful piece..reminding me myself when I often wake up in the dark; waiting for the sunlight…and starting the day. I love how you play with the words and create a beatiful journey for the reader! Take care
Thank you so much for the comment. Glad you like it and appreciate your visit a lot.
Excellent analysis of how we step into our own empowerment when we step into the light, leaving the darkness behind. I really loved this!
Thank you very much, Amy😊
Beautiful blog
Thank you so much, Rajani
What a lovely illustration of thoughts when we are scared to confront something or become weak at some point in our life but there is always hope, positivity and a way out that reaches you sooner or later, it’s us who need to open our closed gates. Beautiful poem❤️😊
True. The onus is always on us to confront our fears. But, some fears are better left unconfronted, don’t you think? Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment:)
For sure, some are better to be under wraps, as I so fear this thing that where will I stand wen God will ask for my doings or how will the life be if any of your loved one leave you so better keep them untouched, otherwise you will go crazy!!
Indeed, you are right.
