Crawling Out
I was so curious.
I felt free.
There was warmth..
So I thought.
Things start
to blur & cloud.
I thought this
was the light I needed.
I fell hard
& fast.
Deeper I go.
The light dims..
What have I done?
What is this place?
There must be
a way out.
I'm clawing, jumping,
gasping for air.
I see the surface.
I push harder,
but still no luck.
There appears a hand
as to reach for me.
I grab hold tight.
I slip as the
current pulls
me down.
I feel trapped.
I feel hopeless
& lonely.
But I cannot
give up.
I see a second
& then a third
hand plunge
down into the water.
I can suddenly breathe!
I'm alive!
I have found my people.
No longer feeling lonely.
The way has been shown.
