The Light has finally Shined on Me
I was told
Have heard
Have wished for love
True love
Kind love
Patient love
Impatiently waiting
And stumbling
And failing
And praying for that thing
The thing in movies
In books
In plays
I play my hand
With a rigged deck
Not knowing
That I can’t win
Won’t win
Until I fold
I submit
I give up
And look up
At the sky
And see the light
The blinding light
That scares the broken
That chases away the pain
That makes me smile
And I’ve been smiling
Every since that light
Shined itself on me
