A Light For Life Poem by Rohit Poddar

There's this feeling
Maybe its fear
Which is holding a stone over my heart
Preventing me from happiness
I am afraid to get close to anybody
Maybe because of things i didn't overcome
Maybe i can't hold the string so tight
Maybe i can't take the responsibility of my outcomes
Its horrific to see myself pretending to be strong
The fear of not accepting the things happening in me
Freighten to smile, cause i think
I am starting to like the gloom in me
Hope some day someone comes
Holding my hands, helping me smile
So i can be bright and shine.

How i see the candle buring in dark
Lighting the room with no fear
I am still lost seeking for that candle in me
I guess its not the candle thats missing
Its the terror in me which is preventing me
From lighting up and lighting everything around me
So in this hour of darkest
In this world of greed
I believe, i will see
The light in me.
