She walks alone in the dark
Reaching out but finding nothing
Looking for sanity in an insane place
She is confused
She walks and walks
Through dark streets and alleys
Shadows lurking
Voices shouting
She turns to see whose there:
No one
Adding to her insanity
The voices do not stop
They fill her head at times
Making her fall to her knees crying
These voices, tell her to do things she was told not to
These voices, tell her to trust them
Not giving in
Not loosing hope
She walks
Aimlessly through dark streets she walks
When she reaches out
She finds someone
Someone she regretted finding
That locked her up in a padded room
Leaving her alone
To wallow in her insanity

To tell you the truth, I dont know what inspired it...I just starting writing while it was dark in my room, except for my candle, and it just came, and flowed. I can relate too it too sometimes....

 "DO NO GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT"

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men and their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught the sun in flight,
And learn too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on that sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

-Dylan Thomas
