Places Beyond
3/31/12
A place.
A dark place.
Somewhere I haven’t been for awhile.
I am
Here now, again.
Somewhere I never wanted to be again.
I know
More than before
About this dimly lit cell of my own creation.
I cry.
I lie down.
I try to keep positive and move on in life.
It works.
But not in
Every instance, I must admit I give in this time.
Make order
Of the disorderly.
Make sense of what makes no sense at all.
I know
That it is
My decision to make do or make dreams true.
I try
To not keep
It all hidden, but to open up still seems, crazy.
Places beyond
Lie farther away
From this dark place I’ve found myself in once more.
There are
Places far beyond,
Away from this dark place, a world in the light.
Places beyond,
Can’t possibly be
Near at hand, for they must be earned.
One must
Gain the honor
Of attaining those places beyond, those places of light.
Places beyond,
Are where I
Want to be, what I wish to see, how I want to be.
