129. I Must Have Run A Thousand Miles Poem by Jaden Knight
129. I Must Have Run A Thousand Miles
I must have run a thousand miles
hid and run like a coward
though it’s not my way
never stopping in an area too long
but still I can’t shake it away from me
Every step have they followed me
close behind just like evil shadows
darkness drawing ever closer
slowing my progress bit by bit
dragging like a ball and chain
Wanting to control me
expecting me to give in without a word
the reality is that they can never completely win
this is the truth that they know
Eventually I will stand and fight my ground
won’t allow them to follow me any more
they will know what I really am
that is when to show my strength
In that place they will not pass
as rays of white light shines down from the sky
burning through through each one of them
as they fall to the ground like fresh cut wheat
none in the area will survive the beams but me
I’ll be the only one standing
When they are gone there will be a change
not noticeable at first but getting greater
and people will come up to me and say
what’s happened
and I will smile and tell them this
Where I used to run
I can walk tall
where I once hid
I sit in plain sight
instead of the shadows following
I see only mine
before there was darkness
now there is light and hope
john, i'm tempted to repeat amazing, a word used in the first comment, below. but, as i am a natural superior talent in the field of humorous poetry, i just think you are a natural superior talent in YOUR field of poetry. so, although i think the poem was very well-written and very captivating for me, the reader, i'm not sure i am ready to call it amazing. it may just be a simple task for you to create such a good poem. on the other hand it might be amazing if some other PH members could write so well. this comment IS a COMPLIMENT, in case you couldn't tell. thanks for sharing. bri :) p.s. my favorite stanza is this: In that place they will not pass as rays of white light shines down from the sky burning through through each one of them as they fall to the ground like fresh cut wheat none in the area will survive the beams but me I’ll be the only one standing it is a little stephen spielbergish? that's not bad either. it does, however, contain the one error i noticed. at least i think you don't want the second s in shines. as rays.....shine...
This is truly an amazing poem and I can't wait to read more of your poetry, you can be who ever you want to be and I'm always here for you as well, but the detail of this poem is fantastic and I hope you don't give up poetry
