A Bolt

C Castro

A bolt of lighting strikes my soul
 A burst of energy a sudden jolt

It's like strong hands just hugged me tight
Within my darkness I see the light

 I mourned my pride a thousand times
In my own silence just like a mime

I tread in tears but did not drown
My will wouldn't let me and strength I found

 Here I stand a rejuvenated soul
 Keys in hand, in total control

C Castro

I'm def don't consider myself a poet I started writing after my sister passed away...Just to try and express myself with out having to throw my misery or sadness on anyone else.... At times my poems are dark but that's just how I felt at the moment more…
