I didn't know I was Trapped Until I met You. ~ The walls were pressing in, Though slowly; Suffocating me, While I pretended not to notice. The darkness consumed me, As the light that was my life began to dim. I thought it was normal. Normal, as my eyes adjusted to the lack of light, my lungs to the lack of air. Adjusted to the merciless pain This world gives. I was alone; Glad about it at that. Glad that no one else had to Suffocate; That not one else Walked blindly Beside me. Then a door opened. Light poured in, Burning my eyes at first; The goodness disguised as bad. Then you walked in. You told me that light isn't evil, and that I'm supposed to breath In my own skin. Told me burdens are often too heavy for one to bare, but never too much for Many.
