Trapped Inside a darkness
Unable to breather or feel
Awaiting the unlikely rescue
To draw me from the depths
I can't sense emotion
No thoughts wonder through my mind
Numbness expands
It grows colder and darker
As I sink deeper inside
When suddenly everything's different
much more golden than the black
I feel the numbness releasing
deep darkness turning to light
Its bright glow blinds my eyes
but my thoughts return crystal clear
I feel the coldness degrading
Turning steadily to warmth
I open my mouth and breathe in deep
letting the cold air pass through my lungs
As all emotions flood back
I realize where I am
finally free of this wretched darkness
and embracing the new found light
I am completely aware
able to think clearly at last
Alive and untouched by the darkness.
