alone in the darkness i try to stay to the light,
to hone my senses and keep up my sight,
I need to be aware eyes opened wide,
need to know when to open the stride,
trailing behind me a long history of dismay,
trying not to look back as i continue to run away,
some days are easy as i keep a steady gaze,
avoiding the temptation to turn and get caught in the haze,
all for nothing if i cant keep moving on,
longing to find a place to someday rest upon,
I will find that place though hidden from my view,
I will someday run across it because its worth it to pursue,
Haunted for the momment but hoping for my release around bend,
pull me towards safer grounds give me your hand to lend.
