Circling
Round and round,
And round and round,
Endlessly circling the light
Amidst the dark,
So close, yet so far
In constant pain, knowing
The closer I get,
The further away I am,
Each step forward
Feels like another one back,
I strive for the light
While watching it fade,
But I can't give up,
I've tasted the warmth
Of the light on my face
And I cannot let go,
Not after feeling it,
Pure contentment,
True happiness,
Floating above the clouds,
As time goes on however,
It's harder to remember
Why I continue the struggle,
And just as I give in,
And give up,
Something comes along,
And reminds me of my purpose,
Thus I journey on,
Even if I cannot see it,
I can feel myself getting closer,
And it gives me hope,
Hope that strengthens me
Against all despair and
The urge to quit
