Lost Poem by Naomi Waters

I am lost
Alone
Afraid
I just want out
But I am trapped
The darkness surrounds me
The shadows seem to choke me
Fear radiates off of me in waves
I cry
I shout
I plead for help
I just want out
Where has the light gone
Where is the sun
Chains drag me down into the abyss
Terror is the heart of my core
I push on
I walk
I run
Afraid of being forgotten
Of being left behind
Why did they leave
I stumble
I fall
My cries are swallowed by the monsters that follow me
I am lost
