This poem was written during a hard part of my life, and may be depressing.

THE DARKNESS

I walk through the valley of darkness

my eyes wide open, but I cannot see

I reach for the light that is not there

my hands wide open, but I cannot feel

I listen for the voice that is not there

my ears alert, but I cannot hear

I sit down for there is no place to go

I close my eyes for there is nothing to see

I close my hand for there is nothing to feel

I close my ears for there is nothing to hear

I close my mind for there is nothing to think

I close my heart for there is nothing to be

I'm just a number in a crowd that I'll never escape.
