In the Dark

All alone in the dark, i can see nothing any which way i turn. I can hear nothing but the eerie calm of silence. My heart skips a beat as my imagination begins to plays tricks on me. How i got here, i do not know. I am just as clueless to where i am as to who i am. A name is such a simple and instinctive thing to know, but i do not obtain this basic knowledge of myself. I do not know my past nor my present. This darkness terrifies my senses and makes my insecurties take flight. I don't know if i will be able to survive such emptiness as that which surrounds me. I can feel it grabbing at me. It tears like claws into my soul. It has already taken my identity. The only thing left for it to steal is my life. Life is such a precious gift that one should not give up easily. We only recieve one, so why should something that doesn't deserve it be allowed to take it? The coldness is getting unbearble. My body shivers and shakes with the wind. I can feel my life slipping, but i won't give up... i can't give up something that i hold so dear. It will just have to rip the life from me.
