I stand alone
nothing beneath my feet to hold me there.
Darkness all around,but some how shiny like obsidian.
I begin to walk on nothing towards nothing,
but always in a straight line.
If you walk straight through any maze, forrest or field, you'll eventually reach its edge.
So
(more) i walk, looking for the edge of this glistening darkness
like the point on an arrowhead from long ago.
But does darkness have a point?
Does it ever end?
Two weeks pass and i'm still walking,
no end to the darkness in sight.
When suddenly, i walk straight into an invisible wall.
My head aches with surprise
I look through the glass,
But i see only more darkness.
I punch at the glass, kick at it, even sing in my highest voice.
The glass remains resolute.
Finally I hurl myself at the wall, and i break through the glass.
Shards of the dark opaque glass fall around me and into me.
I bleed from every limb
From every surface.
But i look around and-
Well i don't want to ruin the surprise.
But trust me, when you break out of your darkness,
you'll be happy i didn't.
And if you already have, don't ruin it.
My only advice is:
The only way out is hard to find,
especially when the dark has made you blind
Harder still, and most hard to explain
Is that you must realize that there will be pain
But do not forget as you yourself fling
At the wall of darkness, which misery brings
That the end has come of the good sir midnight
And you will see a most beautiful light.
