Standing in the Light,
I still feel so alone.
The Shadows pull
and Voices whisper,
Daring me to let myself Disappear.
But I don’t want to go back.
I don’t want to Disappear.
Chained in the Darkness,
my heart and past
shattered beyond recognition.
I long for the Light,
long for a Love that won’t fade.
But I sink into Shadow,
my choice almost made.
I want to stay.
I want to see you.
My heart is reaching,
searching,
desperate and unyielding.
Will I find you this Self,
or will I fade away?
And will your words reach me,
lost in that place?
I’m standing in the Light,
staying by a thread.
The only thing I know
is that I must forge ahead.

This poem feels like a good metaphor for depression. You talk about how you stand in the light and how the shadow pulls on you. I think many of us who have suffered through depression have felt like that. When things aren't going well in your life, it can be easy to give in to despair.
