Our Guiding Light

I write poetry when I feel inspired by an internal emotional experience which needs to be expressed in some way. The feelings we have as human beings can be so overwelming and powerful, both the joyful and the sorrowful. Writing is meant to be interpreted by our own experiences and life. I would love to know how this poem speaks to you💖

Our Guiding Light

Sometimes I feel lost,
And a little bit scared,
Like I am invisible,
And no one could care.

I’m closed and down,
With a lump in my throat,
I see no escape,
Like this path is my fate.

Suddenly I look up,
The sky is so magnificent and blue,
Something inside me unfolds,
It has a radiant golden hue.

My breath begins to settle,
The fear quickly subsides,
Like I’ve been touched,
by an angel inside.

I feel it around me,
It has such strength and grace,
It helps me to realize,
I am worth more than I could embrace.

When sadness feels raw,
There is a place within me,
That lets the emotions run clear,
And allows me to be free.

It is soft and yet powerful,
The essence of our soul,
Flowing around all of us,
Gently guiding us to become whole.

It sounds to me that you’ve found your inner power! That no matter how bad things tend to get, you can look within and find some peace!

It definitely sounds like you have made peace with your emotions and know how to effectively regulate them. You should be very proud, and I hope that I can make it to this point some day.
