I am in the dark
Yet I am fully content
I simply slumber and wait
Ignorant of impending fate..
Absorbing the sounds around, knowledge abounds
With rapidness that will not again be found, but now
Events that truly do confound…as I am
Surrounded by a piercing cry, my silence broken
Words are spoken, many strange unnerving motions
Bring about deranged emotions…
What could drain the sustaining ocean?
Erosion of walls, my world begins to fall
I claw in vain, calling on all strain
In hopes to maintain my stayed being on this plane
But pain, forces my hand to abandon
All that I know as sane for a ransom
Demure to the change for reward so handsome
Succor from the bane that absorbs my passion…
Abrupt distraction from my internal clashin’
When graspin’ hands invade my fastened chasm
And seem to seek a breech extraction
The scene is bleak, im losing traction
Options lean I fiend for action
But before I breathe I greet my assassin…
Inverted vision, blurred from nine months interred
Beyond words, I scream to express supreme blight
Inhaling deep and then suddenly sight…
I am in the light
