I Will Live

Today, the word prompts for OctPoWriMo were 'risk, revolutionary, reawaken, reclaiming', while the 'feeling' words were 'courageous, energetic, liberated and spirited'. I don't know if I fully completed the theme as was outlined, but that's ok. I still wrote. Here then, is my 4th poem this month. Please enjoy.

I took a risk,

dipped into

a huge vat of

courage.

Admitting weakness,

hinting at illness

is not an easy

road to travel.

Some understand,

but they are few.

Most scoff, believing

nothing of the torment

a mind can go through.

Yet in the darkness

of a soul’s revolution,

there is a light

which direct’s one’s eyes

to a way of peace.

Be that what it may

for you,

I have found

my strength.

His name

is Jesus.

With him by my side

and his Spirit in

my heart

I will fight.

I will be liberated 

from this dank cell 

of depression.

I will rejoice.

I will be free.

I will live.
