Hope*

I open my eyes to find more darkness
Hearing nothing besides the sound of my breath
Ceiling and walls encase me
Fear builds up inside me
I thrash around
Hoping that the walls would budge
But they only seem to close in on me more
My heart races as I desperately cry out
Knowing nothing could hear me

My fear turns into hopelessness
I begin to cry
I cry until I run out of tears
Then I calm down
I start to think about the walls
Not as an enemy, but as fact

As I think
Rays of light start to shine
Through the walls
That surrounds me
I start to feel relief
As the light swallowed the darkness
See the outside world
The clouds first with the crisp blue sky behind them.
