Candle

U grab a candle. Its light fierce and bright.

The wick hisses as the darkness threatens to consume it.

The path doesn't seem so bad anymore. So you keep walking.

U walk. And walk. And walk….

But get nowhere.

A breeze sways around me.

The dark snickers as the breeze turns into furious wind.

The light fights against it. Holding its breath so it won't be taken.

But the wind won the war. It consumed the lights last breath and then vanished.

My head fills with pain as the dark gets closer. Then i'm surrounded. Surrounded again by the pain. The torture. The criticism and the hatred of those before me.

I fall on my knees, clawing on my skin.

I crumble down and tear the longing desire to yell out. All my emotions. All the suffering. Its out now.

The scream echos inside of me. Leaving only tears to be shed.
