Darkness
Nothingness
All around me
Everywhere I look
Suffocating me
Closing in all around
Screams echoing back
No answers to be heard
Alone
Dying inside
Bottled up
In this black empty sea
Torture
Endless pain
Nothing there
Nothing to cause this pain
All alone
Crying out for help
Is this death?
The afterlife for the tortured soul?
I close my eyes,
Giving up
Consumed and overwhelmed
Drowning in sorrow and pain
Hope dead
Shredded by the blackness
A dim light reaches my eyes
Barely shining, yet as bright as the sun
A sliver of hope
Just over the horizon
Maybe I can reach it,
Maybe this isn't the end after all
