Light is Frightening
Light that shines so bright
Always shows up even at night
Yet frightens me all the time
The consequences I have to fight
A direction I want to follow
To finally have a different tomorrow
Get away from all the sorrow
But is always pulled by the shadows
Atleast felt the light once
Never been so happy as I was
It did not last long
Darkness was waiting all along
Little did I know
A short period of ecstasy
Comes with a price
About this poem
Being afraid to find genuine happiness
