A Talk With Light Poem by Brigitte Tasher

Something bad is about to happen,
I always have that feeling inside.
No matter what, it makes my heart flutter,
as if I am the victim this time.

Hello, Light, I hope you can hear me,
I've come here to ask for a favor.
Please, help me overcome my fear,
I have no power left to labour.

It took my time, my energy, my mind,
it took so much. It gave me nothing.
Oh, Light, how I wish I could demand
and make it vanish, but it's not leaving me.

Light, dear Light, you know what it is,
you know it well. Better than me...
It's my darkness, my own expectations,
it is what makes me colorless, so gray...

Light, please help me, it doesn't go away!
Oh, please, try to find a solution!
Light, I'm so exhausted, it drinks my soul away,
help me...I need revolution.

What if it never leaves? It would break me inside,
it would break down my world, my heart, my life...

I can't let this happen, I will save my world.
I will keep myself whole, I will do whatever needed
but I will not give in. I am no fool.

Light, I hope you're still here,
I want you to know that you helped me.
I'm not sure what you did to me,
but I now feel I have the strenght I need.

I think I found my salvation,
I found the right way.
I no longer feel the burning temptation,
I'm alive and I'm awake.

All this time through all the lies,
through every war and every scar,
through everything, I survived.
I had myself, I had the light inside.
