Out of Darkness Comes Light
The dark corners of your mind
Hide many secrets
Some you don't want to find
At your weakest
You are numb
Not being able to feel anymore
Lying to yourself
About what is real
What is not
Being led like a pony
Showcased for all to see
Not being you
But someone else
Losing your identity
If words can only describe
The sorrow that you feel
It has a hold on you
Creeping up inside
So you try and hide
Mask what you don't want to show
Hating every minute of it
Losing control
Be true to thyself
Is all you hear in your mind
The freedom you want so bad
Is visible to the blind
Break free from the chains
That are holding you back
In the end
You will find yourself
Finding the light
Out from pitch black

Very relatable poem, coming out of the darkness is a much welcomed freeness. Well done caroline:)
Wonderful writing. This work made me call you sunshine. You are a light. So if you touched me, How many more? My children thank you.

The light will always trump the darkness! That's a beautiful poem.
Powerful poetry and vividly clear, you are in control come what may. Being true to self is the key and it appears you have found it. Loved this most inspiring write..
Really beautiful, Caroline. Strangely, your photo reminds me of the ultrasound womb images that pregnant women show to friends and family. Out of the darkness and into the light. Blessings, Debby
Inspirational and powerful poem. I hope you are right. But I did live a dream life.
Caroline you have a very poetic voice..
Truer words were never written my friend. I learned exactly where you can find yourself when not addressing life's terrible experiences and sorrows. Thankfully a wonderful friend recognized this and I now handle life's losses in a much healthier way.
I feel such pain behind these words. I am sure all have their own version of what it means to them which is what is so powerful about it. I see it as a person who is lost in a bad or violent relationship and is feeling stuck to break free. If this is non-fiction I hope you or who it's about can find the strength to leave and live life fully without chains.
"The freedom you want so bad
Is visible to the blind.
This is so powerful all by itself, to see truth, we need to stop looking with eyes and see with spirit.
