Darkness
Silence…
All you can hear is the ringing in your own ears
Your pathetic torch sputtering before it goes out entirely.
Darkness envelops you completely
bringing with it
a wave of despair.
Swarming over still and silent grounds
A hollow desperation fills your body
forcing you to venture onto the destined path.
You have to escape
before darkness takes over your body
stealing your soul
before leaving your body to rot.
Think happy thoughts...
happy thoughts...
your mantra, happy thoughts…
“It’s not working, you’re going to fail,”
your mind taunts.
NO!
Happy thoughts... cookies, books, laughter, friends.
Exhaustion overwhelms you
you have to keep walking
the destination unknown
but you know one thing...
failing is not an option.
