Poem -

The silence in the dark

Wading through darkness 
Trapped and smothered 
Clawing and screaming 
Everything covered 
The light is a memory 
A fleeting dream 
Cold and alone
Suffering unseen
Life is for living
A beautiful lie
Trapped in the darkness
Waiting to die
I shout and I scream 
One final time
Drowned out in silence 
In this darkness of mine
