No Escape

voiceless in my own speech not aloud any thoughts of my own engulfed in darkness with no known escape only faint memories of light appear as hope, and screams at me Don’t give up! Not now! You WILL Survive! I want to believe that there’s hope but it’s so hard to keep going and it’s so easy to surrender...

Indeed it is, "easy to surrender", but we must fight the good fight anyway.

A dark vision with "faint memories of light" voiceless, engulfed, screams, You have a voice. I heard it. Keep writing and screaming. "there's hope"
