Forsaken

I wrestled with my mind, as I reasoned inside
Bewildered and tormented, I thought I was insane 
My inner voice speaks to me, there must be a way out 
Where am I, I just don’t know
The night and day seem to become one, no hour, no minute 
or seconds in between.
I lay still, I listened for a voice 
But to no avail there was no one insight

I anticipated, I waited and waited is there someone out there
Who is listening for my voice, as it echoes through the sky
But my mind is telling me that there is no way out
why not just give out

My eyes are blinded by the many obstacles that I must face
And my skin feels as if it was torn from my face
I held my head, I cried out in pain, 
Oh! Please, please don't forget my name
I am still out here and this pain I cannot bare
The many rivers I have to cross,
the dreaded mountain I have to climb 
the rugged valley below, has now become my foe 

I lay flat on my back, with the drench of sun rays on my face 
I stare obscurity in the face, I challenged my obstacles 
Leaped over boundaries, fought the jagged mountain terrains 
I have conquered them all, and now I am free, free at last.
