DARKNESS
TUNNEL VISION

Walking through a tunnel
All alone.
No light at the other end
Not even a speck.
It’s cold and dark,
No-one’s here.
I hear friendly voices
From behind,
Telling me to turn back.
But there are voices in front too
Urging me forward.
I don’t know which
Way to go,
Back to the safety of my friends
Or into the darkness
To a world I do not know.

DARKNESS

The black cloak of darkness over me,
In the dungeon of despair.
Living in a world of darkness,
A world of gloom and misery.
The feeling of worthlessness,
That no-one cares.
Waves of death crashing on me,
Carrying me away.
The deep dark dungeon of despair,
That’s where I am.
All alone with no-one who cares.
