ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀʀᴋ ʜᴀʟʟᴡᴀʏ

uncovering my way through darkness with not a glimpse of light,

sprinting and panting but no soul to be found  

tears rolling down my face,

heart pounding as if it were a train on the tracks

hoping for someone to chant my name just once expecting to be saved rather than to save someone

resigning myself on everything steadily as I linger through the narrow hallway

eyes quitting on me with every chaos thought in my mind

WAKE UP WAKE UP!

my ears catching on to the voice as I slowly open my eyes 

and realize that the girl cheerful and joyful on the inside is just 

one DARK HALLWAY on the inside.
