Light In The Darkness Poem by I am The real Ham

Every day I open my eyes
pain greets me
like a shadowed sunrise
It cuts deep into my soul
Devouring all my joy

I feel lost, alone
adrift in despair
And No hope remains
just vacant air

I need help
but I hide my ache
Afraid of the looks
my truth might wake

My mind a beast
That devours me slow,
Feeding on thoughts
I dare not show
So I wear a mask
pretend I'm fine
And bury the storm
that rages inside

But they saw my pain
And loved me anyway
No judgment passed
just comfort

through every strain
I opened up,
I let the silence break
And found strength in the steps
I dared to take
Love rises high,
Crushing sorrow
Like a mighty wave
giving me light
to face each day.
