No Plagiarism!WxLW1yBKV79C4pby2Oewposted on PＥNAＮＡ

The dark is suffocating.

It's burning my lungs.

A world where deep breaths draw blood,

And no one is loved.

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDrk4opn6g

The dark is calming.

It's like my second home.

It's the only escape I have every known.

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkyFAl0Fkb

The dark is everything.

The light isn't here.

I've searched forever.

It never appears.

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu41rX66FFV

I see a glint, deep in the darkness.

I reach forward, fingertips brushing something.

Something...

A blast of hope.

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVypvu3dVp
It's bright, it's blinding.

This beautiful white light.

Tears of joy, down my face.

Maybe I'll escape this place.

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EFn981xKT

Hands grasp something solid.

Eyes, wide, moth, agape.

Someone's here to save me.

I feel a hand around mine.

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdJo8t8mxx

"Thank you!" I scream.

But my cries of joy are smothered by a layer of black silk.

I'm drowning, drowning in light.

Tears, not of joy this time.

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqMOGIQPZ0

Blood, dripping.

The hand, slipping.

What now?

Oh god.

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx6Wuk47cA

I'm falling.

Back down120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXRxyQAoDU

Into the dark.

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2Zoau5hWD

Maybe next time.

I'll survive.

Until then.

I'll fight.

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7TJ7bIfu5

Feel the blackness

The stagnant air

Hear the voices

Crying in despair.
