Darkness..

Because sometimes no matter how hard I try, the inky blackness the lurks in the shadows of my mind seeps in.

In the darkness I awake

In the dreams that I can not shake

Panic strong and strangling me

In its grip I can not break free

Feeling the weight pulling me down

Engulfed I am till I am feeling drowned

Screaming, clawing, and fighting to open my eyes

My thoughts racing to seek out the site of my mind’s eye

Your face…

Your love…

My life….

One last time…

With no air left in my lungs I surge forward yet again

Screaming, clawing, fighting,  breaking through the darkness

My eyes open wide now staring at the light

Knowing I received One More Day to see..

Your face…

Your love…

My life…
