this is my first ever post, so I'd appreciate criticism....please. My Sustenance A ray of sunshine that reaches the Cold dark corners of my wasted soul A sliver of hope that touches me When I feel I can hope no more Warm sunlight that melts the ice Surrounding the vulnerability that is my core A cool salve that heals my burns And soothes my cuts and sores. Strong arms that protect me And keep me safe at night Strong arms that hold me When I cry out in fright When blackness surrounds me And emptiness prevails There is one who I can turn to When all else fails. Who shall fight my battle with me Fight so I may be free Fight so I am trapped no more Fight so I may with him, soar Fight so I am no longer confined Fight so I regain what is truly mine Fight for the light that eludes me so Fight when I can fight no more.
