where?

there is nothing behind the shadows
that is what I found on this unending road.

there is no colour but black,
painted by those who refuse to see.
there is no sound but silence,
played by those who refuse to hear

still, my nerves seize to fail.
every ounce of hurt pierces through my heart
every step I take only amplifies the pain
when will it ever stop?

the only thing real were my tears,
they fell when I realize this isn't home,
What should I do? Where should I go?
I cried the questions aloud.

Then a voice appeared, one I did not expect
a whisper broke through the shadows and won the silence
it spoke an answer that no one else hears
I heard two words, "follow me"

Here, I must chose an obvious choice
to follow the light, or remain in shadows.
I do not have to think twice, the light is my answer
For I do not belong in the dark,
the pain told me so.

I was prepared to fight, but the victory was won.
I reached out my arms, and a hand held mine
just like that, I got out of there
I never want to enter again,
I never want to see darkness again.
the pain as my reminder.
