Let Them See the Sun

Darkness surrounds me. I sense movement. My mother is taking me somewhere. Worry enters my thoughts, but is quickly pushed out. I trust her. I trust her. Darkness surrounds me. I sense more movement. My mother is walking quickly. I hear muffled shouting. I trust her. I trust her. Darkness surrounds me. the sounds are gone. All is silent. My mother is still walking somewhere. I trust her. I trust her. Darkness surrounds me. My mother is laying on something now. A loud noise crashes through the silence. I trust her. I trust her. Light comes breaking through the darkness. Is this it, I wonder? The moment I’ve been waiting for? Will I finally see the sun? I trust her. I trust her. Darkness surrounds me. All I feel is pain. I am helpless. I am hurting. I am dying. I trusted her. I trusted her.
