i wrote this when i was about 13 . it reflected what was in my head and in my dreams and i tried to put it into words. please comment


Lost

It is dark. No light to be seen
I run in every direction
Hands groping to feel something, anything
Im lost

Trapped in a time of confusion,
I feel my mind go numb
Pain pulses through my veins,
Then like a shot of novacaine, I feel nothing
Im lost

No chance of being found, I stop running
I stop groping for something to take my hand
I hear the voices in my mind who have taken me to this place I do not wish to be
I pull at my hair trying to rip them out
It doesnt work.....

Standing in acceptance, I let my body go
Falling back into what seems to be the earth
Staring into the pit of darkness that surrounds me, I lay motionless

My voices fade away
My fear subsides in a new body in which it can overtake
My eyes droop, my breathing slows......
My heart stops
It is over now
I am free

Sometimes we can't see the light because it's only a faint slither. Reading this, I felt the dark closing in and also felt lost.
very well written.
