Locked in the dark
cant find my way out,
i sometimes see the light
but before i reach it
the light goes out
cutting deep into my skin
to feel the pain and
just to realize I'm alive
that its all just not a nightmare
my mind is a pit
in which darkness does thrive
worse than a nightmare,
the pain i feel is real
as though all the monstrous beasts are attacking me at once
and they are
pushing me deeper into the dark
don't know how much longer i can last till drop
but then i screamed for my mother and she came to my aid
i can see the light again and it hasn't dimmed
