Into Darkness
The words on the board swirl in a blur.
Beneath her feet the ground begins to tremble.
Her soul in pieces, wrapped and packaged
Given to those who reside over and control
All those things that matter.
What, today, will justify her actions to commit
A sin that gives joy and happiness to so few. But
Brings pain and destruction to so many.
For, what shall she give, to see those few
Seconds of vibrant colors of the sun, moon, and stars.
And so her long, hard journey begins. First
The pain and then a burst of joy and pleasure.
But oh how the pleasure soon began to fade.
She needs it back, she wants it back. The heightened
Pleasure, its all she needs, desires to live.
But with each ounce of pleasure comes a pound of pain.
The feel of an electric current rushes through her legs.
The weight of a cinderblock dropped onto her chest. The
Rooms begins to shake. The lights flicker. And then darkness.
Her parents discover her limp body upon the floor.
What atrocity could cause such an appalling tragedy?
Where did they go wrong? What didn’t they do right?
How could their daughter allow her mind, body, and
Soul slip away into darkness?
