Seeking Light

Amidst the turmoil
I face,
The mind still drains
and I still feel the pain..

No tomorrow
has brought a bright future yet..
All I am left with is
empty hands in vain..

Sleepless nights,
Toiling days,
Hopelessness,
seems to have taken its place..

A streak of light
I seek for now,
I hope I find
to move on: out and for long!
