AN: Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I usually do poems during school
and stuff. I had a little writers block but it is over now. My middle
finger hurts 'cause it got slammed in a door. ( But I think it is getting
better so I can maybe type more. (but I'll probably make it only worse!) I
was going to do another free verse but then I got an idea and used rhyming.
But the next will be free verse, I promise, and it will be up in the next
few days. You can still suggest poem ideas...if you want. This is Riku's
P.O.V. Not 100% sure who it is targeted to...Kairi or Sora. Enjoy! Thanks!

A Light Within

There, centered in my heart,

The very essence of its core

A light –small- but surely growing

But it wasn't like that before

In the past that light was stronger

And I could feel it beat and burn

But darkness consumed people's hearts

And soon it was my turn

I remember how it was

To feel darkness deep inside

All I felt was pain and anger

From this terror I couldn't hide

I thought I'd stay like that forever

The chances of escaping looked grim

For I believed my heart wouldn't recover

While the better possibilities seemed slim

But rather, my luck had changed

As a ray of hope shone through

That glimmer began to form and grow

The moment I saw you

The evil that I kept inside

Had seemed to fade away

A light broke through the endless black

And that's where I am today

Now I want to thank you

For making me whole

For bringing me back

And for saving my soul
