The light

Hey spiritthebrave,
Welcome to the site Smile

This poem actually reminds of something I would have written about fifteen years ago. My biggest suggestion would be the think about revising this poem so it doesn't rhyme. I say this because in spots the rhymes feel a bit forced. I'll go into a bit more detail below:

warm and bright -Aren't all fires bright by definition? I get the feeling this word is just here so you could rhyme with it.
welcome me
from dark of night -Aren't most nights dark as well? Again, it feels like the word "night" is just here because it rhymes with "bright". 

The path before me 
now seems clear
and with the clarity
comes great fear -I like the last two lines of this stanza. I would suggest expanding on the idea that clarity leads to worse fear.

The monsters -"Monsters" is a bit vague. It would be more interesting if you described the monsters.
they have been revealed
it seems that my fate
is now sealed

Perhaps a battle 
will breakout
he'll break my leg
I'll swipe his snout

Perhaps quick death
will be my fate
quite gory
he won't hesitate

I'm bathed in fear
I'm numb with fright
The end is near
I see the light

And damn you light
you've caused this all
your luring draw
has been my fall -I really like this stanza. I think you either need to expand on it, or work on strengthening the connection between this and the other stanzas.
Overall, I think you have a good starting point with some of the ideas in this poem, and I look forward to seeing your next version of this poem.

Keep writing,
Richard
