There is no one
By Sumedha Jena
Walking down the broken path
Trees shadowing the road
I am alone and scared
Nobody can find me
I am stuck in a maze
With all the exits blocked
The voices whisper my name
My memories are hazy and they fade away
It’s been days since I was lost
Nobody has called for me
Nobody noticed that I was gone
I can’t get my voice to speak out
I am surrounded by never ending darkness
I have fallen into a ceaseless abyss
The sun has vanished
The moon has arised
The stars are my only company
Everything is quiet
No sound to be heard
I dream that I will be raised
From this bottomless pit
The rain falls in
And taps ‘hello’ to my hollow head
My smile is stolen from my face
I am afraid to stand in this place
Every night I have no one to talk to
The constant fear wraps its arms
I know that there are worse things
Than being alone
But loneliness is the only thing I have
Right now
I understand..
..that my thoughts will destroy me
The pain has stopped
The sun has come out
The stars are gone
And there is a warmer feeling
I survived another day of being alone
