Trapped –
In a black hole
Clawing at the darkness
Trying to find a way OUT –

The more I fight, the deeper I sink –
Quicksand engulfs me.
I’m on the verge of giving up –
But wait…

Was that a speck of light?!?
Did a shadow fall –
Across my tear-streaked Face?
Is someone out there?

TALK TO ME, PLEASE!
Are you there?
HELP me out of this shuttered empty room
No, STOP! Please, don’t leave me –

Abandoned –
Alone –
Unloved –
Story of my life.
