Alone I Wandered Poem by Cody O'Hara

Alone, I wandered
Traversing my mind

Fighting for survival
Leaving darkness behind

Demons stalked my every move
Hoping my lost soul to bind

I kept on
Slow, resigned

Yet the torch burned
And the path was still clear

I lifted my head
And shouted for the demons to hear

Look at you cowards
Hiding in shadow as you jeer

I won't die, hear me
I refuse to lose myself here

The monsters were no more
The dark did fade

For all their trickery
I not once have strayed

The light of my friends
Cut the fog like a blade

To them I owe a debt beyond measure
Thanks to them I am no longer afraid
