The Dark

Darkness

Swirling

It felt like drowning

Was I drowning?

Drowning in sorrow, fear, pain

I couldn't breathe, couldn't see

The current was dragging, pulling, clawing

The water fills my lungs too fast

Will I escape?

Will I drown in The Dark?

It consumes me, takes me over

I am The Dark...

The fear I feel is me

The pain I feel is mine, but also...

Wait.. Will I ever be free?

Or will I be forced, for all eternity;

To feel the hurt of those around me?
