Radiance of Inner Light

(Ongoing Project)

I am standing on night’s edge, ever feeling,

I surrender to the tranquillity it always brings.

In this moment nothing is truly real,

But regardless, the Euphoria I deeply feel.

A symphony of joy, a dancing of light,

In the handsome face of this night.

But in the quiet of my mind, a shadow stirs,

Washing over me, a spiral of darkness occurs.

It whispers fiercely, a symphony of despair.

It consumes the light, every breath, I gasp for air,

In this moment everything is real,

The fear, the chaos, I helplessly feel.

Now, in the aftermath, the shadow looms,

A violent echo in empty rooms.

Sleepless nights, a restless mind,

Haunted by what is left behind.

I struggle against the tight embrace,

Feeling only burdens in this shattered place.

But in the depth of void, a licker ignites,

I blink to ensure I see it right.

Realization dawns, soft but clear,

I am the power that can conquer this fear.

Within my mind a force awakens,

A resolve to heal, unbroken, unshaken.

The shadows still linger but I stand tall,

From victim to victor, I heed my call.

I am the author of my own tale,

With courage to fly where I once failed.

Trauma may linger, but it does not consume,

For I hold the power to dispel the gloom.
