The wild, ever-growing, dark and evil shadows
They try to take away the small flickering light of hope
that struggles to burn within, in this howling wind
I see light twinkling around the corners
it plays with me
I run behind them and they hide
They cast shadows more powerful than before
I see dark figures of hopelessness and disappointment
darker specs against dark background
Where is everyone?
I am suffocating in this sphere of nothingness
My futile efforts to run from them
make me more breathless and worthless
Where should I go? Where should I hide?
Out of this darkness, I feel a hand
I don't know why, but it clutches my hand tight
That feel of hand somehow stops me from running
and I don't feel the need to run
I am not alone
The small fading, flickering, struggling light in my chest glows stronger
soon it burst out in flames
Every shadow coming for me, vanish, disappear
and the world is new and bright again.

P.S. - "Hope should never be denied, we don't know what miracle it can bring to someone's life"
I have added this to sad poems though it's not really a sad poem. This is to show that someone out there, cares. You don't have to know them, you don't have to meet them, but trust me, they do....... I do! Don't be afraid of the shadows. There's no hiding from them. Only way out is to be the light which won't let them exist.
