In The Darkness

Why? Why did I walk in a hole with a blindfold on?

I walked and crawled, away from the pleading voices. When I found my way out, there were hands reaching out for me.

Why did I slap them away? Why did I just crawl further and further away from those pleading voices?

I never knew that I was walking or crawling with a blindfold on. I had a feeling, but I didn't listen to my gut.

I crawled and crawled through that little hole I was in, further away from the light. I fought my way through vines, rough rocks, and the relentless chill. My body was scarred and my temperature is dropping.

I continued on, hoping that I could get out myself... but at one point, I decided to call out for help.

No one came.

So instead of waiting, I just crawled on by myself. I continued to crawl, but it as I got deeper and deeper, the coldness is was unbearable. I did not hear the sounds of rocks rolling down another pit, and I fell straight through...

I screamed out in fear, the feeling of me falling was frightening enough.

Now... its just dark. Dark all around me.

I knew I was screwed. I knew I fell.

... I took off my blindfold...

And I couldn't see anything. Its like all of my senses were nullified.

I felt like I couldn't see, feel, hear, or taste.

The darkness... I can't see anything in front of me, not even my hand. I don't know which way is up, I don't know which was is down.

I screamed out for help. I gnashed and wept on that seems to be a floor.

I'm so scared... why didn't I accept help? Why didn't I call out for help?

I'm so scared...

I can't move. I can't.

I'm scared of the dark... did I ever tell you that?

I screamed out for help...

No one came...

I screamed it out again...

No one came...

... please... someone...

Save me...
