Shadows of demons surround me,
Rising up above and around me.
Their hands cover my eyes,
Putting my sight in the dark.
I am alone with my thoughts,
Thinking of all I thought I knew.
Reminiscing again and again,
What was, what could be, what if.
I stand on a ledge, a cliff.
Nothing above me,
Nothing below me.
With only one direction to go.
Before I find my freedom,
I reach out into the darkness.
For something, or someone,
To pull me back, give me hope.
Until, then, I realize it,
There is no-one there.
I'm there on the ledge,
Alone, lost, and blind.
I stretch out my arms,
Taking a deep, final breath.
With no change of view,
I close my eyes, and let go.
