The darkness surrounds us Like a blanket it wraps us and pulls us under We fight and struggle, but we cannot move The air is stiff as we struggle to breathe With each moment, panic sets in Our heart races as the darkness takes its hold We can’t breathe as the air comes out of our lungs Wrapping around us, tighter and tighter. The darkness pulling us further and further into its grasp
darkness
The darkness pours over my soul
The darkness pours over my soul As endless waves rush in. The rising of the tide pulls me in further. Pulling my heart and filling it with dread. I found myself caught in the tide, while my body struggles to be free. The darkness shrouds my existence, and soon I am gasping for air. The dark waters pull me down, filling my lungs with regret and despair. I reach out trying to break the surface, but the darkness is always there. Pulling me back, pulling me down to the depths, I plummet. The pressure keeps me down, night after night, day after day, I can’t see the light; the darkness is all I know.
