Coward
Im burid, paralyzed, with only fear and hurt by my side. An ocean of black and darkness , an ocean of nothing. I have no comfort, no release. Will it always be this way? A ray of light shunes through the darkness, I see a path. It forks. Left or right. If I choose left I will feel pain it will never leave. If I choose right, no more pain. I will feel numb. But if right is chosen it will cause more pain than that of my own. as I stand there thinking the light dims. The darkness returns. A cloud or darkness surrounds me and it is as if there is no help, no one to let in. This is my choice, the choice chosen on my own.
