Into Darkness Poem by Javier Falcon

Running in the darkness
lost deep in my past,
I feel how hands pull me further
into this thick sinking mass.

No matter how much I struggle
I can not escape your grasp,
as when I think you've let go
I can only drown a bit more.

Yet I plunge into this abyss
getting thrown on land by waves,
only to be overwhelmed by smoke,
with no hope of ever coming out.

I run into the flames,
yet i don't seem to burn.
Only left here kneeling on fire,
and gasping for air.

As all my attempts are futile,
I finally seem to pass out,
to wake up in my lonely bed,
all alone in the dark.
