Hope
I am in darkness, deep deep darkness.
Darkness so deep it has no ending.
It fills me, holds me, chokes me.
Darkness so thick I cant breath.
It binds me,blinds me,dries me.
How deep is deep.
Ive climbed and sunk, walked this way and that.
It follows me, it robs me.
It encapsulates me, enslaves me, derails me.
Every crevice and orifice hosts this beast.
I used to remember the light, so bright, so white.
The darkness has snatched it, smashed it.
I used to have fight, could take flight.
But the darkness strangled me, damaged me.
I keep my last weapon from sight.
I have only Hope left. Hope to survive. Hope to stay alive.
