Alone at Last

Darkness thickens

my breath is shaky

footsteps quicken

my brain is achy

My chest feels tight

I hear the voices growl

"There is no light,"

they snicker as they prowl

I hit the wall

I get down low

I curl up in a ball

with no where left to go

they laugh and taunt me

"I must get out," I cry aloud

the yellow of their eyes I see

but the darkness covers me like a shroud

I must get out, but how?
