This darkness that for so long I have fought
Has finally caught up with me
Surrounding me and filling me
Running through my veins,
My heart drinks up this bitter blood
With each beat it makes
I scream out for help,
And silence answers
I run with fear coursing its way throughout my body,
It is too late
Darkness has already grasped my soul,
In my ear darkness whispers,
“Nothing can save you now”
Suddenly I am lifted up and carried away
I scream until my throat is no longer functional
To my surprise, it is the light
And in my ear he instead whispers
“Hope is also what is running through your veins,
Never forget that,
Never let hope escape you”
Hope is what reaches out to the light,
Asking for help
And light always answers
