The Unknown

I am losing myself to this darkness.

 I do not know which way to turn.

The light I no longer see. I only feel pain.

 Nothing like this before has overtaken me and this

 I do not understand. I am confused. 

I cannot help those who need me if I cannot help myself. 

When shall this darkness lift? 

When shall the light return? 

When will this pain go away?

I have never been this way in my life. 

I am at a loss for words. 

I sit all day staring out the window 

watching the leaves fall from the trees.

I watch as the others come and go, as the door slams shut 

and opens once again as they return. 

And yet, I sit. I wait. 

And I still do not understand these feelings that I have.
