night

i walk alone
into the darkness
i see so many things, my feelings come to life
i see the sky on fire - i can feel the heat
it burns my cheeks, but I welcome the pain
for it is the first thing i’ve felt in a very long time
the trees ignite
i am surrounded by the heat
then suddenly, all of the flames are gone
and i realize that the night - the darkness has engulfed everything, even my mind
depression has reared it’s ugly head yet again
i want to run from it, to dig my way out
but all I can see is the darkness
for miles and miles
