In The Dark


Black engulfs the world around me.

Everything is still;

No wind,

No light,

Just me and the darkness that surrounds me.

How did I get here?

Did I jump,

Did I fall,

It has been so long since I could remember.

As I am here, lost in time,

This is all I can remember.

If I fell, up is where I came from.

If I jumped, up is where I am going.

And up, in this world,

Is where the light is.
