The Search
A dark tunnel
Leading my eyes into a black
swirl
of
nothingness
A jolt forward
Sending me into a whirlwind
Of pain and panic
Falling down
down
Then stopping completely
Unable to go forward
Frozen in an unknown atmosphere
Everyone may describe as the final resting place
But
There was NOTHING peaceful about this place
Nothing calm
Nothing relieving
Nothing tranquil
It was a whole new universe
So dark and numb that kept me wondering
What will happen next?
Then I saw it
that light I'd been searching for
It moved and danced
Swaying from side to side
I grew closer and closer
until I saw myself
A reflection
I plummitted down
crashing against the dark waves
I let my body sink
A ringing in my ear began
My body felt paralyzed
My instincts kicked in
Arms pulling and shoving
The water away
Only for a heavy mass of never-ending defeat to rush over me
I pull myself up
Climbing the rough waves
Struggling to reach the surface
My eyes open
But close
When I see no difference
Just
Darkness
I thrash and kick upwards
Slowly losing air
As the waves crash down upon me
Swalling my frozen body
Ice shot through my veins
Water rushed into my ears
Crying out
But no sound left me
Just when I was about the give up
Time stopped
I opened my eyes
There was no more water
No darkness
No pain
Just a white space
AFter all the fighting
I had finally found it
Peace
