As The Rain Falls

Alone

Alone

Your mind darkens

No light can reach through its depth

You're chained to the ground

The sun peeks over the top of the damp well you're trapped in

You stand to run to a wall, to climb, to escape!

But you are pulled back down by the chain

You fall

You feel pain rocket through your body

You lay there

A cloud passes over that light

You remain on the ground.

Sound familiar?

This is a scene that haunts the subconscious of many people

Torturing dreams or just overpowering reality

This is all you feel

But it is not all there is.

Yes it is hard to climb out, impossible really, as you'll always fall back down

But life will continue, and the walls will erode

Even without you making it, your prison will crumble with time

And a rope will be extended down to you, or you will be able to climb out on your own.

Weakened yes, but continuing.

You will climb out, and you will be free

You will find happiness

It may not be permanent, but it will be there, and it will persist despite what comes next.

I promise
