Erin M. Darkness In My Mind

[Darkness In My Mind]

Erin M.

Darkness in my mind.

It’s crowded, so many figures. I can’t see any of them. Everything is dark. I can hear the buzzing of mumbles, but I can only see slight figures. Is that a cat? I don’t own one, but I wish to.

Is that my long-lost friend? I wish to see her again.

Is that a cake? From my birthday? That was many months ago.

Is that the song I wanted to write? Those notes seemed impossible.

Is that my Grandpa? He died before I was born. I wish to meet him.

It’s too dark in here.

I can’t see. What are these figures? Are they past memories? Family? Friends? Old ideas? Where is the switch? Where are the lights?

I wake up. It’s bright and sunny. The warm autumn rays warm me up.

But, if it’s already so sunny, what time is it?

Shoot! I’m late for school! I go rushing out of the house forgetting about the darkness in my head. Everything slowly brightens, guess I just had to wake up.
