[bodytext] => All my life a shadow has chased me I looked to see, had it stopped I no longer saw my shadow chasing me The darkness cleared, Happiness within reach Illusions of a manipulative mind For the shadow never chased This I realize now, only now Is it to late.. has the revelation come at the end The realization that the shadow never chased That the shadow was me, staring into the mirror The mirror that reflects not what is outside But the mirror that is the mind The true struggle ensued.. attempting to climb the rope The only way to the light The light that is a future.. escaping the demons that lurked below Climbing with all the burdens of my soul and sins Burdens to heavy to bear, for every measure gained two were lost Hanging at the end of the rope.. pleading for help No one could hear, hear my cries of desperation A voice comes to me saying.. "Never give up, Never stop fighting" I push harder, my hands ripped of all flesh Burning with the intensity of a thousands stars Hot tears roll down my face sizzling against my body The fire grows larger the demons roaring of starvation Anticipating the meal to come.. The end of the rope is held by one partial hand The burdens growing heavier and heavier Screaming for salvation, to be saved from this perpetual hell The voice comes again as all times before.. "Do not be alone my brother, I am here with you.. I always have been." I cry out for him to save me To offer more than words or wisdom "I am you and you are me.." This moment the pain becoming unbearable My mind an ocean amidst a terrible storm Consciousness fading, my tears begin growing cold The heat gone, the pain lessened, Life fading, thinking the fight over Of the rope I let go... Let go of hope... Falling into the flames and darkness... the swarm of demons clamoring excitedly This is the end I think to myself Vision fades into oblivion.. death has come Feeling suspended in air.. my body fractured Unable to move even the slightest gesture Bones broken, organs ripped apart, mind shattered I manage to open my eyes To look up and gaze upon myself Him, one hand grasping the rope The other holding mine.. He whispers softly.. the voice familiar, soothing to my ears.. "This is not how it ends brother.. come I will save us." He pulls me up effortlessly onto his back. I hold on with what little strength is left. Tying the rope around us binding us together. The burdens falling off their chains snapping under some unseen force. I close my eyes and all feeling fades Then snaps back instantly... I open my eyes to find I am the one wielding the rope.. I look back to see a destroyed mirror A mirror of myself. All the pain is gone All the sorrow is gone All the hate is gone All despair is gone All the things that have always held me back are gone I look down to see the demons staring up at me shock in their eyes, as all my burdens fall upon them. I take a deep breath.. It is not air I fill my lungs with.. But life.. No this is not the end.. It is never too late.. With a new found determination.. I begin climbing... A long way to the top but... This.. is a good start.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
