Stuck
What is this?
The sky is black.
My hearing is black.
My feeling is black.
Black rain,
I feel it’s lumpy form,
Dragging down on my wet skin,
Trickling into my eyes,
And bursting out,
Sticking to my eyelids.
I feel black beating.
I feel black cold.
A concoction of black shades,
Like an elevator,
Like an airplane.
Humid breath pushing under my nose.
Like a snake boggling inside.
But without anything to see,
I see something powerful.
Something more inducing.
My legs freezing,
My arms freezing,
My brain freezing,
All of my muscles -
Freezing.
And my legs like rotten dried meat.
And clothing, clotting,
Sticking to my skin,
Moisture mixing
With my body heat.
But,
I have to keep going!
She’s right in front!
Pass her,
Pass her!
Maybe that’s what this feels like -
Stuck,
But like that time,
I have to keep going.
This dread, this darkness.
You’ve run hundreds of miles!
If you were really that weak,
you would have stood down a long time ago
A long long time ago.
Stand up.
Around me, I looked and I see- all round me with what I thought before to be black, flake off, falling to a peaceful ground in a comfy blanket of darkness, wrapping itself around me, and protected by a strong titanium armor.
Above me
Big open space
And a big welcoming door
