Oh yay—another update! This might be the last one before school starts for me on the 6th. But never fear—I shall keep updating. I've actually written several of my best poems while I'm at school, so yeah.
Here it comes!
I was lost in the Land of Snow,
But now I'm found and now I know,
I'm safe within your arms tonight,
And I can sleep 'til morning's light.
It was hard, without you there,
And yet I knew that out somewhere,
You had been constantly searching for me,
And one day within your arms I'd be.
I made many decisions without you by my side:
Where to run, where to fight, when to flee, where to hide.
I wish I could say the worst was over and done,
But saying that would be lying, to you and everyone.
I must face the truth, I cannot lie,
I should look cold reality right in the eye,
But I can't and I won't and—oh, Halt, it's my fear,
That if I wake up I won't be here,
I'll be back within that awful place
Where they know no forgiveness or mercy or grace.
I've seen a lot, and now I know,
As blood do staineth red the snow,
Here's a place where Evil comes and goes,
I feel it more as my pain grows.
My pain is a secret I hide in myself,
High up upon the invisible shelf.
No one has seen or felt it but me,
Now it's pouring out for the world to see!
You are some one in whom I can confide,
You're loving, peaceful, gentle, and wise.
You can whisk me away from the places I've been,
But nothing you can try to do can change what I have seen.
I've seen hunger and sickness, pain and cold,
I've seen dying young and withering old,
I have seen death, stared him right in the face,
And I almost died, trapped in that awful place.
I cried out for help, and who heard my cry?
What is the reason that I didn't die?
You say that I'm destined for great things someday,
That day does seem so far away.
You say I'm destined for great things, but how?
One day I'll find out, and this is my vow.
So how is it? Please tell in your REVIEW!
Many thanks!
