THE WELL
Entranced by it's darkness, she fell
It was cold, dry and silent.
She was alone.
For a while, she enjoyed this kind of calm
But suddenly, she felt the air thicken
Gasping,
Panicking,
But couldn't get herself to scream.
Glancing up, she saw a speck of light.
"Could that be the way out?" She thought.
With all her might, she began to climb up.
But the light wasn't getting bigger.
Then, a loud bang startled her,
the bright light turns to gray,
and water began to fall
The walls moisten and she slipped,
fell again to the bottom pit
and a cut on her wrist.
trapped in the deep well
she's afraid,
yet, hopeful
determined to escape
she waited for the rain to stop
she waited to see the light again
but the gray sky did not forfeit.
As the sky cry
So did she.
the water became higher
almost drowning her.
Once again, she climbed.
slipped
and another cut.
Again and again..
Now she's tired,
been bled of energy and blood
She decided to rest
and wait for the right time.
Her will is to escape this cold dark well.
One day, the spot of light has come again.
and it's brighter than usual.
but this cold and dark well is now filled with water.
she's drowning,
suffocating,
in need of air.
So, she gathered all the strength she has left,
This time, she swam up.
In the midst of her journey she realized that the light is still not getting bigger.
She's been swimming up for a while,
and
She's almost out of breath.
Is she not close enough?
or is she really deep down?
She tried swimming up once more, but then again
It's still a small dot of light.
She decided to stop.
Stop holding onto that small light.
Stop swimming back up.
Stop fighting.
She ran out of hope,
of strength
and will.
That peck of light she was holding on turns gray again, water falls and she screams.
Her wails echoed through the well.
In the end, after a long fight she decided to stop.
Loosen up her grip,
the small dot of light started to vanish
as she let go..
and
she has now fallen permanently
into the darkness of her amusement.
