Taken in the dark


Stolen out of greed, 

Draining out all that was within me, 

Left in a mess, 

Tremble upon by the unknown. 

 

At then I was searched, 

Found in the midst of broken souls. 

Disguise in the dirty, 

Buried with fear of the thought that I’ll never be found again. 

 

An empty body, 

Wanting to feel loved. 

To be taken out of the dark, 

To be in the spotlight.
