I really hope you all aren't just figments of my imagination.
Your Light

Well, I haven't posted any poem in a very long time, for the simple reason that I hadn't written any. I had a complete writer's block and I only managed to get inspiration while trying to write for the AC Poetry Competition. I hope writing this one will have helped me come out of that slump.
I'd like to thank everyone who voted in the competition. Your votes and comments both encourage us to keep going as well as help us improve. Everyone's poems were great. I feel honored to have won thanks to you all.
And here is the poem. As per usual, any feedback or comment is welcome as well as widely appreciated.

Your light
Seen yet completely unnoticed,
As if my shadow swallowed me within its darkness.
Fearing that I would never be missed,
I trudged through life, inching towards madness.
Walking slowly, burdened by dead weight,
Pain stabbing me with each forced breath,
I had resigned myself to my own cruel fate
As sole spectator of my lifelong death.
Finally, the sun pierces through, the sky turns blue,
A voice tells me it's not enough to just survive.
Your stretched out hand is reaching through,
Allowing me for the first time to feel alive.
You notice me and make me feel worthwhile.
You grab my hand and pull me off the cold floor.
You warm my heart with your radiant smile.
A few seconds of you and I can't see the darkness anymore.
My heart no longer feels heavy,
So I allow myself to tell you:
I am one of the lucky few
Because your light found me.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this.
Oh, and here is the banner I chose.
