Those Voices You Hear Cheering Are For You Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Come along.

'I don't want to go that way.
I am not familiar with it.'

Be strong.

'My strength has nothing to do with that.
That light is too bright.
And that is a fact! '

What's wrong?

'I know you've got 'something' up your sleeve.
Your face is too calm.
And your eyes,
Clear and happy.'

Take my arm.
Don't be alarmed.
You are awakening into full consciousness.
I am here to assist you with your steps.
And help you sever from this last addiction,
You have being in complete and total darkness.

Come along.
Those voices you hear cheering,
Are for you.

'What did I do? '

Wake up!
