Trials

Elly Ray 1993 (Jeddah)



when i lose my ways, and fail the game
I often fear to lose myself along, and fall
behind in pain
And I, could not help but to curl in and cry
Oh, muffled, i cry with no tears

And for multiple times, i try to hold on,
And hold it in but it comes out loud
As it surfaces the heart,
I rigorously try to push it down

And I awaken myself and ask for directions and try
Oh I try, God knows I do day and night

And I hate to lose hope but I wave at it goodbye
I wave at it goodbye while holding its hand so tight

And I drown but I refuse to give up life
And I could adapt to the bottoms but it's too dark
Oh, it's too dark for a soul in a pursuit for a dazzling light!

About this poem

with the challenges of everyday life, we face our darkest realms, and struggle to keep real, and though we stand on the verge of fear, we choose to surrender not and fight when in need, only to keep sight of what's important and what makes us be.
