Arise... [ A Poem]

The world is so quiet right now,
Yet no one hears the crumbling of my soul,
The pain magnifying every second,
The softness leaving my bone.

I'm being blinded to all the blessings,
My conscience is vanishing into thin air,
I'm being pulled back by my demons,
They are luring me into the voids of despair.

Closing my eyes feels so much better now,
For I have nothing dear to me left;
Claws scratching my skin from the inside,
It's better to escape this horrible cleft.

Suddenly, the dark clouds fissured,
And I saw a sleek but sharp ray of light.
Something inside me snapped and chanted,
"There's always time to make things right."

There ! I found a reason for myself,
Something to hold onto again,
What a cowardly thought it was,
That 'I would never survive that pain'.

The winds are whistling into my ears
And i see now, pictures of my mother on the old racks,
She is smiling, like always, and I feel light entering into me, through all those scars and cracks.

I stand facing the clouds now, looking towards the Almighty,
Screaming and thanking him for preventing me from the demise.
He smiles down at me and whispers now,
" No matter what child, you must arise, arise, arise !"
