A Glow (Poem)

I wrote this for English class, it does have a background story, but poetry is subjective make of it what you will.


I climb down into the abyss
The darkness is consuming

The fumes grasp me by the throat
I start to choke

I try to gasp for air
The darkness is consuming

As my lungs burn
I start to panic

I try to see even the faintest of movements
The darkness is consuming

The silence pierces my thoughts
My panic increases

I wish so much for a shred of light
The darkness is consuming

Just as I start to loose hope
A glow cuts through the omnipresent blackness

I feel a sense of calm wash over me
The light is soothing
