Trees are flying by, inches from my head. I am growing so weary I wish I were in bed. My legs are working vigorously, My mind wonders endlessly. Shadows in these woods taunt and torment. Wanting to speak thoughts now, having lain dormant. I cannot help but wonder. Why I am having this nightmare. Seeing the memories, slip away puts me in a state of deep despair. The darkness is gaining momentum as my soles beat the ground. I do not understand why I cannot simply turn around. My heart beats through the cavity of my chest. What I desire most is to reach the crest. I inhale the cold gust of wind with my every breath. My threshold tells me I am close to death. As I look in the distance at my soul and body, I send God a sorrow-filled apology

Darkness Consumes Me
Trees are flying by, inches from my head. I am growing so weary I wish I were in bed. My legs are working vigorously, My mind wonders endlessly. Shadows in these woods taunt and torment. Wanting to speak thoughts now, having lain dormant. I cannot help but wonder. Why I am having this nightmare. Seeing the memories, slip away puts me in a state of deep despair. The darkness is gaining momentum as my soles beat the ground. I do not understand why I cannot simply turn around. My heart beats through the cavity of my chest. What I desire most is to reach the crest. I inhale the cold gust of wind with my every breath. My threshold tells me I am close to death. As I look in the distance at my soul and body, I send God a sorrow-filled apology
