Poem I wrote - "Follow"

12:47 AM 8/22/2021

I feel like a little child,,

I want to be held and protected by those bigger around me

I want to go to sleep,,

I don't want to be left alone in the darkness without a hand to guide me

Yearning for the larger steps beside me of someone who knows more, so much

I have to speed up my walking pace to catch up with their strides,..

We don't know what's at the end of the tunnel,

No matter what we do, it will be an even larger void,,

And we'll have to step over the delicate bones of others who didn't and never will make it.

To realize now that the larger hands, only know we are descending further into darkness instead of ever seeing a possible sky or breathing fresh air..

They have come to accept the blindness

And lead us further and further down..

Expecting us children to claw our way out before everyone eats each other..
