Free Falling

I'm falling into this darkness. 

Nothing is holding onto me. 

I look down, and all I see is this emptiness. 

There's nothing to pull me up. I can't stop myself from falling. 

I scream, but my scream is silent. 

I'm falling deeper into the darkness. 

I fall to the ground, and when I look up, I see darkness. 

I look around to see if I can see any light to save me from this emptiness. 

I'm looking for an anchor to pull me up from this despair.

I don't know how I got here. 

I don't know how long I had been falling. 

How long had the despair held space in my mind? 

How long had my thought been dark?

How long had I been lost in despair? Would anyone save me 

Would anyone know I was lost?

Would anyone come looking for me? 

I sit in this emptiness. 

Tears are flowing from my face now 

I look up one last time 

And when I do, I see a small light 

It's not big, the size of a star in the darkness night 

the brightness of this small light 

brings hope to me that someone will find me 

someone will come 

I hear a voice speak 

"are you okay"
