Speak out

I know it’s dark there and the lights have burnt out.
You are scared, you are weary, you are completely lost.
The end is far from sight and you have lost sight of where you had begun.
You find yourself plunged into a deep void from which you can never return.

You look around and find yourself completely alone.
Nobody to turn to and no ray of hope.
A silence so deafening you wish you could flee.
You look out for the stars and long to be free.

You are caged, you are trapped, you are pinned down.
Ironically by the weight of your very own thoughts.
So many stories untold and a thousand words unsaid.
Speak out your mind before there is hardly anything left to be said.
