Darkness:

Darkness surrounds me, I see no escape. No light at the end of the tunnel, no spot of any warmth. It's cold here, do you feel it? Can you feel the darkness making its way around me? It's creeping up, not leaving me alone. I get scared at night, afraid I never said goodbye to those close to me. Why is this happening? I don't want to go, I don't want to be left alone.

Sounds. I hear sounds in the darkness, like whispers telling me things. 'Let go' they would say, 'Give up' they would tell me. But I'm scared. I don't want to leave, but what if those voices are right? What if I should just 'Let go' and 'Give up'? Would things be better, lighter? Or would there be more darkness around me? What would be the right choice? Stay, leave? This is confusing me, am I not good enough for a straight answer. Am I that desperate, for the pain to end? Or is there yet hope if I'd hang on.

Darkness, why won't you leave me alone? Why do you keep me hesitating? Have I deserved this? Did I miss the life lesson?

I won't leave. I can't leave, but I'm not sure why. I'm staying, for now. Maybe if I continue walking there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I'll be there, that is my goal. To seek the light that has died within me, to seek and find whatever I'm looking for.
