Persephone

Being down here
Engulfed by all this doubt
pain, and defeat
Isn't so lovely.

Drowning in the dark
I have been taken.
I run but can't seem to
find a way out.

I push on.
But can't seem to stay
on my feet long enough.
But still I go on.

Searching for the light at the
end of this long tunnel.
Searching for freedom.

And so here I am.
It is quite bright.
And it's beckoning me.
To come up and rise
from the darkness of
defeat once again.
