Sarah Griffel Poet I do not know?

No Escape

voiceless in my own speech 
not aloud any thoughts of my own
engulfed in darkness
with no known escape
only faint memories of light
appear as hope, and screams at me
Don’t give up!
Not now!
You WILL Survive!
I want to believe that there’s hope 
but it’s so hard to keep going
and it’s so easy to surrender...
