Escape

The darkness has entered my home.

It came in uninvited

And it wants to stay.

No matter how far I go,

Or how fast I run,

It always catches me.

It has grabbed onto me

And will not let go.

I can't seem to find the light,

But my small candle of hope

Will keep burning bright.

I run down a long tunnel.

The darkness closes in around me.

The farther I run,

The longer the tunnel seems to get.

T keep running though.

I hear a voice calling out to me.

My hands reach out in front of me

Hoping to grab onto something.

I don't know what is there

And I don't really care.

Anything to escape the darkness.

Anything to see the light of day

Just once more.

It seems impossible to escape

This terrible darkness.

But I keep on trying.

I won't rest

Until I have given it my best.

I won't stay chained forever.

I will escape

And be free.
