Come Back

Buried Alive

By Piper ElaraPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

Ten feet underground, submerged in complete darkness

Buried alive.

Feeling the pressure from millions of inch feel cured on my body.

No pain.

There's only knowledge of the damage done.

Where is my heart

Where are my tears

Come back.

With my little strength that's left, My arms try digging, damp soil pressing against all parts of my body, lodged underneath my nails.

Just when there's hope of breaking the surface

I take my last breath

My soul

Please come back.
