falling into the abyss,

i try to grab for the ledge.

i am too late, and

the darkness engulfs me.

there is nothing in sight,

there seems to be no bottom,

nothing.

i fall for so long it is like

i have become nothing myself.

eventually, i crash, i am

surrounded by the skeletons

of the past.

i wanted, needed, to forget them,

now that i am here i must

confront every single one.

day by day for what feels like

an eternity, each one comes

to me. regret, dread, sorrow, and shame

is all i could feel during this time.

relief washed over me as the last

one left. it was only then

that a door opened nearby to

which i walked through.

finally, i was able to see the light

and feel the warm air after absolving

myself from all my wrong doings.
