Sudden Light

I stand in the middle of a park
there where no one can see, just
around the corner, there where I 
am alone.
I wonder what it was that I had held on
for so long, for so many years.
I have prayed to bring this to an end, 
a BRIGHT LIGHT, I shout!
It's heading right at me! Like magic,
tight in my palm,
I squeeze away the pain.
