Falling down
Slipping in
Quicksand taking hold
Unending blackness
Eternal night
No end in sight
Joy a foreign concept
Freedom to choose
But all the choices lead here
Every turn is circular
No up, no out
The opaqueness is blinding
The silence is deafening
Never felt so alone
As I wander I pray
Mumbling words
Silent prayers
Pleas for help
Anything,
Anything,
Something.
The night is never ending
Hoping for one ray
To penetrate my soul
Bring back my joy
My happiness
My heart
Open me up
Let me out
Into the sun
I walk along
Never knowing
What went wrong
