Hurt
What is it?
Silence wraps itself around my neck.
Choking.
I can’t breathe.
Am I alone?
Where am I?
Where are you, God?
I fall
I rise
But….
As I reach for help the ocean fills my lungs,
The salt burns my pride, I cannot rise.
Will you not ask for help?
Cry out! Break out!
The surface beckons me…. but…but…
It terrifies me!
I must go through more pain
I am afraid of the light for it drives out the darkness,
But what next?
I fear I will be empty without the pain.
Oh, God!
Someone, Anyone! Help!
I can’t help myself!
A desperate cry rips through my salt-filled lungs,
I reach for the skies once again… but… I sink again.
Why?
Loneliness wraps itself around me like a cloak.
It warms me as it suffocates my lung.
They fills with water, and I close my eyes
Now, I sink further to the depths
Perhaps, one day I shall arise, but for now, the darkness fills my soul.
