beams of light
separating my realm of dark
forever in night
an impermeable membrane
shutting out all joy
efficient dragonsbane
behind the light beams
is all that I desire
my world rips at the seams
the light sears my eyes
I flail about for help
i die
and no one cries

I read this book after my grade 12 literature teacher, Mike Kerry recommended it to me.
I wrote that poem and showed it to him.
He kept giving me extra marks and I stopped showing him my poems.
I wasn’t writing for credit, I just wanted his feedback
