There's nothing to find and nowhere to escape
Not even a glimpse of light.
Every day is a struggle in this dark and unfamiliar place.
I'm still bewildered,
Questioning how I ended up here,
From my bed into this mysterious darkness.
It has been two days
Since I got lost in this dimly lit room,
Where darkness surrounds me entirely.
The silence is so profound
That I only hear my own footsteps.
I am as mysterious to this place as it is to me.
It's been two days since I last ate,
And I'm extremely hungry.
My throat craves water,
But nothing comes my way.
I want to question God,
Wondering what sin led me to this dark place
Did I lose myself from my bed, or is it just a dream?
The more I walk, the farther I seem to go.
Every mysterious event is unfolding before me;
My eyes are blind to the darkness,
My throat is as dry as a river,
And my body is as dark as the sun.
Maybe I'll find myself dead in this place,
Witnessed only by my departing soul.
What could be scarier than this?
Will I be able to escape from this mysterious place?
Will I make it?
