I'm living in a shadow,
and it's dark,
and cold,
and i'm so scared.
I'm jumping at every noise,
every movement,
and the light seems so far away,
I don't think i'll ever make it.
I'm so afraid,
that i'm frozen in place,
and time is moving very slowly,
I'm counting the days,
till something awful happens.
This is a horrible way to live,
slowly suffering,
wasting away,
with every ragged breath.
I'm trying to take steps,
toward that light,
but this shadow is holding me back,
not letting me strive forwards.
I'm stuck,
and I don't think i'll make it out,
soon enough,
because the dark,
won't let me go.
