Sesheta's 21 Days of Poetry Challenge II

Find the Light

Sometimes I feel mediocre
Sometimes I feel less
Sometimes I feel the weight
Of the world on my chest

I find an escape
A friend, a hobby,
A new distraction
To take my mind away

The escape can't last forever
Real world forever looming
Darkness passes over me
I gather my friends and supporters

I cannot lose this war
Conflict will not defeat me
While I feel the love and support
From the team at my back

Watch us dancing in the sunshine
Darkness burned away
Determined - focused - victorious
Happiness suffuses my features
