Long Time Waiting

• Description: This poem can be found on AllPoetry under my Pseudonym BC. Loki.
  I originally wrote this poem as best as I could with the messages and themes in mind after studying Poetry at AS Level. I feel it is one of my better writes and I would like comments on what you think it is about and whether I can improve it.

I am running,
Blindly through weathered walls;
The labyrinth of my mind.
Until a flicker of light,
Held by my own hands.

I stumble into my own arms,
Held by this stranger whom I have searched for
All my life.

I lead myself to a door
Through which I step,
Bathed in a pool of gold.

I am but an illusion,
A shadow of the truth.
Let me rest now,
for the other to take over.

I love your poem, it's brilliant. I believe it to be about someone who has pretended to be someone else all there lives and maybe even lost themselves completey in all the lies they've told. They look in the mirror and they see someone else (hope your keeping up, lol) they want to stop being someone else and become them. Am right? (I bet I'm not even close, lol) Oh and sorry for replying to a poem which is from 2009, hope you don't ming. Bye~ wink
