Darkness

I'm swimming all alone in
a pool of darkness
and I feel like darkness is
slowly pulling me under
I yell for help but no one is
there to hear it
I begin to see the water at
eye level
and I kick and flail
fighting to stay above the
darkness
But the darkness won't let
go of its hold on me
and I slowly begin to give
in
to the feeling that lies
below the water line
the waters starts to fill my
lungs
the lungs that once held so
much life
yet now they allow the
murky water to replace
that
I know that this path
doesn't lead to happiness
But why doesn't someone
grab my hand
pull me from darkness's
grasp?
because no one knows I
stand at the boundary
the boundary between light
and dark
so I give in to the thing
that holds me
All of the strength and all
of the courage
that I once held in my
heart
can't save me from the
water
So I slowly slip below the
world of conscientiousness
undetected by the
occupants of that world
I don't want to fight
anymore
I've given into darkness
