the pain cuts like a knife
the tears fall
death seems sweet
almost welcome
what is the point
stuck in this black box
called my life
no door in sight
no light shining
i wander
the pain still there
the tears still there
death still welcome
i search and search
nothing
nothing
i fall to my knees
i begin to pray
God please help me
please make the pain stop
a light shines
faint
but it is there
a door
in the distance
i run
locked
who has the key
a scarred hand reaches
opens
a key inside
i open the door
i’m scared what lies beyond
life or death
God wraps his arms around
and comforts
"go my child, you will be ok"
i begin to cry as i step through
i turn
"I will be with you, always"
He says
with a nod i begin my life
