here in the
darkness
voice is
stifled
here in the
darkness
tongue has been bridled
words birthed
through lips
consumed by
the hearers of them
soul spilled
upon the pages eclipses
what reason
could not mend
hungry mind
seeking knowledge
labyrinth of
wanderings
neurological
bondage
efforts not
traversing
cavernous
constraints
rope bridge
builders
used string
instead
dangling on the shreds,
distance between
learning and thriving
living and
surviving
poetically
forming beneath skin and bone
behind teeth
and tongue
words
manifesting truth
mind longing to be
free
out of
darkness comes
from depths
unknown
into hearts
unknowingly
the light
begins forming
it's purpose
brings a scope
diminishes blackness
like candles igniting
hope
overshadowing hindrances
before the
dawn they fled
like
sun rays upon pathways
the place where hindrances
are shed
and journeys
begin
first steps
toward freedom
barefoot
bleeding
eyes upon an
unknown
hope
exceeding doubt
stay hungry
my son
never stop
believing
keep moving
dear one
it's freedom you
are receiving
