Darkness is consuming me,

slowly yet surely, 

trapping me within its boundaries,

not letting me be free. 

I feel the pain, 

the anguish, 

the depression.

I'm suffocating in the dark, 

a place that I don't want to be in,

I can't see anything,

nor can I talk.

There is no one to save me: 

no person, 

no being, 

nothing. 

But in all this darkness

I see a light, 

a flicker of light,

that is my hope. 

Hope that 

someone will save me;

hope that one day, 

I can leave my darkness 

and be free.

I hope that on day 

I can see the light 

once again. 

Hope will get me out of this darkness.
