In a Dark Place

In a dark place
I reside
I am so far down
That I can't even see 
The light anymore
And it terrifies me 
Too scared to live
Too scared to die
I am stuck
Caught in a never ending circle
Always running back into myself
Wanting to escape from this prison
But not knowing how
Lost in a dark place
With no escape

nighttime makes me feel this way sometimes! Courtney......I'm thankful it's sunny (and cool!) here in Minnesota today, this helps a lot! I like to walk in the sunshine!... Best! Jimbo
