New Hope

I opened my eyes
The sight reminding me of where I was
The darkness, the never ending darkness
The panic overpowering all my other emotions
I feel weary once more, the feeling more powerful then before
Then I remember the heavy burden I was carrying
It is killing my hope of ever seeing the light again
All of a sudden there it was, the light that my eyes wanted to see
This time I can see a silhouette in the center
I focus my eyes on it, noticing it’s human
I can hear its voice calling my name
As I start to run towards it, I felt less and less tired
But then for some reason, I looked behind me
Terrified of what I saw, It was I running after me
It was my burden trying to catch up to me
Wanting to take me back into darkness
As I got closer to the light, the mysterious figure starts to take shape
I recognized the face anywhere
She stretches her hand towards me, but before I could reach it
I feel a strong tug from behind
Turning around to see myself once again
My burden tries to pull me away from the light and from her
She’s telling me to fight, but he was just too strong
I was being pulled away from her, but she again tells me to fight
I summoned all my strength and stretched, grabbing her hand
I feel the pull from both sides, tearing my body apart
Closing my eyes I turned back to myself, to my burden
Telling him, “You don’t control me!”
The pulling stops and I opened my eyes
Ready to face the darkness once more
But it was not darkness I saw, but a beautiful sunlight
I see her standing in front of me
I hugged and she hugs back
I’m finally free, free from the darkness and my burden
Now starts a new life, of hope and love
