where’s my light?

trampling
thunder
the light is away
the fright differs to stray
a glow enters humans
a glow enters the fireflies
a glow creates newness
to everyone’s life
i stay the same
no evident change
no light
no smiles
just fright
for a while
then i return
to my tears
its my nature
i belong here
in this pillow
c r y i n g
i wrap myself in shame
guilt pins me down
”Don’t play this game!”
i make my way around
and live
even dark clouds
have light
yet what surrounds
my life
are the dark clouds and c r i e s
and screams and lies
but the lies are mine
”Oh, I’m fine”
the screams echo
in the forest
so i let go
summoning the screams in my head
Hey God, where’s my light?
