My footsteps have whispered
to the darkness for many miles
I have come so far, there is no turning back.
The silence is too much to bear
when you are alone.
The thoughts that I can ignore in a crowded room
echo in my ears.
In the dark
I wrap my arms around myself,
the only comfort I have.
The only way that I know that
I still exist.
Glimpses of light dance ahead of me,
just out of reach.
Is it my imagination?
The pitch of these dampened stone walls
can play tricks on an innocent mind.
The luminating glow grows stronger
as I come to the end of the tunnel.
The sun pours in to replace the darkness
with color and life, a sight that brings me to tears.
I let my fingers dip into the glow,
there I am, I do exist.
I finally let my whole body submerge into the sunlight,
Freedom!
I look back into the darkness and smile,
I am no longer your prisoner.
