Fing Lang Poems

Seeking Light From the Darkness

1. The bass screaming, lyrics slowly engraved in her damaged mind.

2. Each second providing a little more fear and disappointment then anticipated.
3. The sense of belonging disappeared.
4. Leaning against a wall contemplating how to escape her current suffering.

5. Her answer cloudy as can be.

6. Looking back questioning if this is the way she wanted to live.
7. Ambitions she once had became so faded as the wind swept them away.
8. Now lost in what she was seeking she proceeded to walk.

9. Bitter air nipping at not only her soul but the body she fails to claim.
10. Water rushing down the creek, the clouds that were once so small are now skyscrapers.
11. Engulfed in the clouds, she felt like she was the only one left on the planet.

12. The wilting leaves crunched as she hiked through the winding golden path.
13. Seeing nothing but leaves losing their time, hearing what now has become her anthem.
14. Lost and frankly defeated in this war she has to constantly fight.
15. It has become clear she can't get out of this cycle.

16.The cycle of no matter how hard you try you will forever lose.
17.The cycle of as soon as you feel comfortable;
18. your demons will snatch familiarity right from under you.
19. She was losing herself for good this time.

20. He constantly asked if it was ok?

21. As if he was trying to help her gather herself back,
22. but the more he persisted,
23. the more she became sure that this is what she wanted.

24. Looking at him she knew that maybe they weren't the bad guys,
25. they looked like they were more put together than she was.
26. Time glides past her as she saunters her way through the year.

27. They greet her way more than she like them to;
28. telling her how much they miss her,
29. how it’s been a while since their last interaction.
