Torn from the arms of the ones who loved me, cast into the storm with hate as my company. Forced to see the sun from the bottom of a well. No hope this life is a living hell. So far from the light that guides our way I lay in dismay. My dreams are torn apart at the seams. My body’s numb its lost all feeling as I search in the dark for meaning. I start the long climb towards a goal that’s out of sight. Aiming for a distant light. Along the way I’m forced to face the demons that are haunting me. No peace they wouldn’t let me be. A part of me was left lying in agony but my goal was the world I had so much to see. So I picked up the remains and moved on heading towards the light I was so far from. My hands were cut and bleeding, but my heart kept beating. It lived to find meaning a reason to make this life worth living. Hoping here in the dark someone would find me. Pulling myself closer to the light that was blinding. Finally I’m free I can see the sun. I’m not a victim I had finally won.
armyman228, this not so sunny start, ultimately turns to hope, and light. As you say "to find meaning a reason to make this life worth living". Struggling, yet victorious. ;-)
Hi, armyman228, Many, if not all of us, have demons to fight. Finding the strength within to say, Finally I’m free I can see the sun is a testament to the heart kept beating. Thanks for sharing the struggle.

I want to say thanks to everyone that read this poem Im glad that everyone was able to understand it and I hope to continue to write even better pieces. I read every comment and appreciate all of them.
This was my most well received piece to date It was inspired by the video to the song away from the sun by 3 doors down. It was one of my more interesting write as I was trying to balance light with dark I think it was a success and enjoyed the overall quality of it. It makes the reader feel like their going on a trip an forces images into the imagination.
