The Unbreakable Void

by Nimisha aged 15

The unbreakable void – will I break it before it breaks me?

Shrouded by mist I stand – deserted and lonely, feeling cracked

A blur of hope – all warm and fuzzy – gone in a minute, all cold and hard

Happiness – a term, something I never saw, never truly felt,

Darkness is where I’ve lived

Trapped in this void, so strange I feel strangled, so, I scream and bang

Let me out – but who will? That remains unknown to me and you

A string of light, hanging on the horizon

Powerless like me – about to fall and fail

But it doesn’t, instead it rises high and above, bright and powerful

The darkness melts away

Sucked in by the light

An ignited fire

Roaring fiercely

Golden streaks paint the sky

The yolk bleeds warmth

It’s oppressive power

An admirable quality

It’s unparalleled power, unmatched

The buzzing sound, a lullaby

I feel… HAPPY

Is this really what it means? If so, I’ll rejoice I’ll never let go

Drenched in golden rays

The golden nectar

Harmless but yet fierce

I drink it deeply, endlessly

Happiness….I finally know you
