Sinking slowly

into the depths

It is dark!

There is no return.

It scares me.

No one ever leaves

The dark

alive.

Ever so slightly

losing my mind.

It is fine.

I am all right.

For I know

there is a reason

I act this

way.

Steadily and surely

dying inside.

It is sad.

I want to cry.

But I know

I will rise

above.

Above the darkness.
