Breaking Free

Adrenaline pumps As thoughts fill my mind I'm going to do it I'm leaving it behind. I dash for an exit Hoping to break free Large ropes from the darkness Wrap around and pull on me They don't want me to go As i fight to get away I try to get out of the trap As the force makes me sway I can see the light But the ropes pull me back I struggle to get there To get into white, and out of black. I gnash my teeth Tears well up in my eyes The ropes are too strong... I give up, and to the black my bodie flies

Wow. I really like this Parker. Very sad, the ending. But I love the way you describe the struggle, emotion. Great. I hope you have a great Christmas and New Year! :)
