Darkness
April 11, 2017
The curtain rises
But the darkness still falls
A spotlight on me
My shadow wearly long -
I’m forced to smile, to dance and sing
But my heart is begging just crying to flee
I see the exit
But i’m locked into place
I look to the crowd crying for release and am meet with the face of nothing
No kids
No family
No friends -
Just - darkness
My chains are released as they crumble to the floor
The spotlight turns off me
And the darkness takes all
The tears roll down
My sobs grow loud
And like my chains I crumbled down
