I Am A Shadow In The Darkness Poem by Louie Wiggins

I have been Waiting
Am I waiting for some type of miracle to come and save me
I am quiet in my thoughts hoping for a sliver of light
It is as if my own eyes have been taken from their sockets and I am forced to be without sight
I am in agony, constantly quivering internally at the gnarling in my mind Why me, why
Why can't I see the light Is this punishment for my being I have said am I to live in the shadows of my errors, indefinitely
Will I be taunted by day running into board and wall
Will tormenting be all my nights screaming out into the blackness while searching for a bit of hope
Am I, I am a shadow in the darkness Where neither light nor hope have any meaning, but faith has overtaken me and I lower my body this flesh to the ground to face the dirt Then I remember Your law to the qualities that have no limit and in no certain order I voice them out laud I beseech You to my heart and to my kidneys to find a life deeply hidden To search for the light within the shadow is to comfort the darkness in me
