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.
