hope

by Kalikala Smith

So the days haven't really changed their color,
and the fog doesn't seem to have lifted,
but there is a light that wasn't there before,
coming to take my demon away perhaps?

Because I haven't had much luck,
in feeling like a human,
and I feel like I've been stuck,
holding down this fortress of a body,
before it does something crazy... like die.

But there is a light,
so what does that mean?
Not sure,
but I'm not afraid of it anymore.

perhaps not being able to feel human is the most human thing there is... just a thought. i'm glad you no longer fear that which you did at one time. good piece.

Really like the honest spiritualism in this, text well reflective of its title.

wow- now i'm living what you write! this was me today- a light, of some sort, in the midst of this horrid darkness...
