There was a Light

I woke up and there was a light

I don't know where it came from

It just was

there.

So I sought out to look for it

In the puzzling oblivion that is my head

I wanted to know where the light lead

And then a hundred voices said

Keep walking

Stay strong

You've got this

It's not long.

I think.

I listen,

My foot following the light

Like a puppet on a string

Then the voices changed

You're going the wrong way

they said

I felt a noose on my neck

Or was it a mere thread?

Turn back

Stop that

Such a brat 

They said.

I stopped in my tracks

As the voices grew louder

And the thread

or the noose

or the leash

became tighter.

As the light dimmed

I began to see red

What were they yelling about?

I was doing what they said!

I was their puppet.

On a string.

The red cleared. 

My neck seared.

My eyes teared

When I realised

I still couldn't find the light.

the art is not mine I got it from pinterest.

OKAY!

I made this when I was looking into what poems i should do for my school recitation. Then i fell into the rabbit hole that is the internet and found a video on old timey poems. I was just trying if I could make one myself.
