A light down a darkened path
beckons me to follow
As I approach
it flickers
making me stop, wait
Again it calls
I continue forward
not knowing what lies beyond
the blackness that settles around me
A light so bright, yet not
I cannot see past it
My eyes play tricks
seeing only what my mind allows
Fantasy settles in
It lures me
and I walk, following
unaware that I am pursuing
My darkest dreams
my biggest fears
I turn around, afraid
and find nothing
but the darkness in which I began
Yet sounds and shadows engulf me
in a sensory overload
And I freeze, unable to comprehend
all that is there
and not
Only to realize my existence
in my own imagination
