Trapped

surrounded by Darkness
walls moving in
closer
and closer
inch by inch
each inhalation
drawing them in
pulling them closer
On top of you
until stopping
is all you can
do
to survive
No breaths
closed eyes
darkness Envelopes you
and finally
there is nothing left

Distance

There are those times when

tears are clear,

transparent and painful.

And all the moments

that I fight to win

are useless –

my strength no match,

damaging my pride

and much

much more.
