Sometimes I dwell in the dark places...

Sometimes I dwell in the dark places

Those dark places that hide in the deep recesses of my soul

I can get lost in that darkness…

I can get trapped in those places

Wandering about…

Steps heavy…

Not realizing…

That to escape

     I must…
          Reach toward
             The light

Darkness can permeate

If I stay lost within

If I don’t turn away

From the shadows

The longer I am here

The harder it is to leave

I get trapped in these places…

Caught in the trap…

Needing to escape

     I must…
          Reach

               Toward

                    The
                         Light…
