Fear (working title)

I hate this hateful darkness.
How I long for the light.
I yearn for the radiant sun
To bring me back to life .

Surrounded by these raven walls
Enclosed, I can't break free.
Shackles burden,  hold me down
When will I become me?

For much too long, I have bowed
Fear dictates my when and how
It points my finger, and runs my mouth
I can, I cannot. It ends now.

"No more, no more!" my soul cries within
But am I too broken to begin again?
On my knees, I beg for peace
For mercy I plead, I plead.

Breaking point. Waking point.
I fight for what was mine.
Blessed light. With all my might.
A spark begins to shine.

A miracle begins in me,
The black begins to fade.
Face arise, feel the heat,
No more to live in shade.

Grateful heart, hopeful start
Where will I go from here?
I may not know, but I do know
I will not go in fear!
