The Final Frontier
September 23, 2014
Darkness surrounds me
Everywhere a deep black
Light hasn't been here
A faint glow
A small ghost shows the way
Leading further into the dark
Pressure building
My ears hurt, and my head is spinning
Still I follow
The willo the wisp warming light in the shroud of night
My lungs scream for relief
The darkness creeping into the soft glow
I can no longer hold it in
The air escapes my throat
The bubbles float gracefully downward
The darkness stretches into me
I welcome it and it takes me
The light no longer exists, neither do I

When I was writing this, it was a class assignment. It was also writen around nine at night before I went to sleep. I am very proud of it and how it came out.
