Beautiful shimmering light

Bursting through the trees

Beckoning me forward

Into woods I have not seen

Don’t look down, that’s what they say

But these cracks say they know me

If I'd known, I'd have been

A different person

I wouldn’t be covered in scars

Or I wouldn’t have to show them

I wouldn’t show my scars

I could move on with life

Without straying I follow on

Never looking back

My life laid out before me

As I walk between the cracks

The dark is full of wonder

As it creeps to shroud the light

But it doesn’t have the strength

To beat me as I fight

This never-ending battle

Of me against myself

Live to fight another day

Or stand and face this hell

Shimmering light
