Blocking The Light Poem by Terry Biscamp

Everything will be ok...
Are words that play over in my head.
And right when I believe that again,
False hope enters in, instead.
Is life so delusional...
That contentment is hard to comprehend?
Walls finally begin to crumble,
But we seal ourselves back in.
A ray of light tries to shine,
We turn away to block it from our eyes.
And we hurt the ones around us..
Even though we hide our cries.
The night comes bringing the peace,
Envelopes us in tranquility.
Being free for awhile from all that hurts,
But it's limited stability.

The song in my heart is reaching its end.
The light only burns my eyes.
The faith and strength I try to hang on to,
Is smothered out by silent cries.
The love I feel is strong and real,
And yet the pain seeps back in.
Keeping me confused and bruised,
And only waiting for an end.
