A Battle

A Battle

A Poem by Lil Guppy

As I meander through the darkness, I shiver.
This blanket that I cannot see envelopes me so that I cannot breathe.
I trudge on and on without knowing where I'll end up.
But I don't care.
I don't care that I might die tomorrow.
I don't care that the people I care for die before me as I watch.
I-don't-care.

Finally, I see the light.
I see the light that will take me out of this misery.
I'm running as fast as I possibly can,
and I exit the crushing darkness.

When I jump into the light,
I can't bare to look at what's before me.
The white light that I thought would save me,
was actually a trick of the mind.
I hoped,
but now my hope will be forever lost.

My knees hit the ground first.
Tears flow down my face.
What I thought was the light
was just another part of the darkness.
This never ending darkness inside me,
consumes my entire being.
I am forever lost,
in my internal battle with the darkness.
