Through A Looking Glass
When you look at life through some one's eyes
You may expect the unexpected
But when you look through mine
The unexpected is truly
Uninvited.
A never-ending hole
One million feet deep,
Unexpected,
Unnerving,
Impossible,
Inescapable.
Looking above from the top of the trench
In the pitch black darkness
A little faint glow
Illuminates the first few feet of the prison.
A little gleaming hope,
Encouraging, lovely, spirited,
Yet unreachable.
That, is the unexpected.
My world, revolves around this.
A deep hole, an unattainable moment of joy
I climb, claw, grasp, hang
On the walls
To get to that light.
As I reach for the top, I can feel the warmth of the light on my sunken cheeks and cold fingertips.
I embrace.
I laugh.
I love.
I live.
Not a moment later,
A dark shadowed entity cackles it bloodcurdling laugh,
And pushes me back.
As I fall back that one million feet
Time stops.
It goes on forever.
A repeating cycle.
Irrevocably deplorable.
If you were to see my life from my eyes.
The shock and the pain I have witnessed
Is truly unexpected.
