Out of the Darkness

by Ivyshadow

I was alone in the darkness. My family had left me. I had nothing, except hope. I knew what was coming, so I kept hoping. As long as I knew my future, I was hopeful. I would not give up.

This is a poem from Alice's POV about the beginning of her new life.

Out of the Darkness

They abandoned me

and left me to die

They did not want me

but I did not cry

-

I have seen my future

And I knew of my fate

In a vision that comes

frequently, as of late

-

Of that sandy haired man

and that family of five

They are all in my future

And toward that I strive

-

My old life ended in darkness

And my new one began just the same

All alone in the woods

I awoke with a start;

I could barely remember my name

-

But I pulled myself up

And I held my head high

I followed my gut

And looked up at the sky

-

I knew what I was,

and what I had to do

I would not give up,

I would always pursue

-

As the light began spreading

I started to run

Out of the darkness

And into the sun

Hey! So that was my first "Twilight" piece, and my second attempt at poetry on FF. Tell me what you thought in your reviews! :)

P.S.- The dashes are where there should be a space between verses but FF won't let me do that :P
