The wind howls, screams of the night,
The darkness overcomes me.
I don’t know how I got here,
only remember falling, falling down
The tears had been flowing,
The cries of anger echoing
during the moments before I fell.
There was no pain or anguish,
only confusion and fear.
When I landed I was surrounded by nothing,
and when I woke I was where I am now.
The clouds in the sky are heavy,
and the rain pelts my face as I search.
Am I dead? Dreaming? I don’t know
There is no one around to ask.
I am alone in this pit of darkness,
with not a clue how to get home.
It feels like years that I have wandered,
but I know it has only been days.
I feel as if I’m moving in circles,
same landmarks at every turn.
The trees appear dead and hollowed,
the sun never shines in this abyss.
That fight with my mother seems silly now,
and I want to be home in her embrace.
The tears I cry now are no longer of anger,
but of despair.
