Poetry - A New Life

I wrote this poem a few years ago, I was doing through a really bad patch and the thought of things changing and getting better scared me. Sounds silly I know.

Anyway, here it is:

She's afraid of the light in the dark
The light that reaches her
Through the shadows of her mind
The extended hand, offering her help
An escape from a life she knows so well
And though that life does her no good
It is one she is familiar with.
A life she knows how to respond to
This offer of a new life scares her....
