Light by Madison Bicking

The light is always there to guide my way,

though I don’t know where it comes from or why I deserve it. 

My life has been plagued with darkness, 

and I wish I could say I’ve come out of

the war unscathed. But that is

not the case; for I have fought 

many battles, both physical and

mental, that leave me feeling as though

there is no part of me that can have

their pieces picked up and their

internal organs untwisted. 

Every storm that falls from my eyes 

has been infiltrated with tear gas that threatens 

to blind me every time. 

But even still, I have my light that shines 

like silk against the moon that hangs

high, and someway, it feels okay to 

push through.
