The Void I Destroyed

{ © Aishah Ansari Photography}

Someone please hand me a flashlight,

I need to be able to see in this fight.

Then, I realize it is all in my mind.

The light shines, and a void I find.

It is not that I need someone reassure me,

Yet I need to find that key.

Because I have learned I do not control the wind,

The light shines, and a void I find.

At times I take a stumble,

and I hear the thunder rumble.

I have hit that rock bottom,

Coincidentally it is always autmn.

But I am no longer in a bind,

The light shines, and a void I find.

It's been almost seven years,

And now I am more aware of my fears.

I am stronger than before,

and my mind controls me no more.

For my limits are no longer defined, 

and finally

The light shines, and a void I no longer find.

The void,

I finally destroyed.

I no longer need a flashlight to guide me,

Because I know to let my myself be, to let my mind.

I have left the past behind,

The light continues to shine, and a void I no longer find.
