I float in a pool of darkness <br />Cold presses in on me <br />I am alone <br />Floating aimlessly <br />I reach for sparks of hope <br />But rather than warm <br />They only burn <br />I ache with sorrow <br />I hunger to leave <br />To escape <br />To leave this prison <br />I crave to be free <br />To be heard <br />To be loved<br /><br />Emily Reid<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/floating-to-escape/
