Strong

I run and run and run and run
Seeing no colors around me
No shred of hope to hold me
There are no words, no words.

I am surrounded by their smiles
Their laughter seems so real, so pure
I wonder if their faces belie, like mine
A cracking, reeling, screaming soul.

Tiny specks of truth appear
Shards of fragments of profundity
Peace to grasp at, briefly
And arms encircling me with strength.

Holding onto every black night
of sorrow I have bled for
I turn my face away from every blunder
And realize the arms are my own.
