im drowning in this darkness
breathing it in as air
i cant survive with out it
but how can i with it?

im locked in that box of darkness
pounding on the walls
searching for escape
dying slowly for lack of air

panicking as i struggle
but only wasting more precious life
the life that i breathe
the breath of darkness

I enjoyed this......drowning in darkness doesn't sound too much fun.
I hope all gets well.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Aww, the box of darkness can be fun.... just take the time to do some thinking.  
I thought this was a good poem.
