Cannibal Thoughts

i'm in a cave

a dark, dark, cave

rendering my sight useless

so much

that i can't even see myself

so i stay crouched

to reassure myself that i

am indeed

still there.

and sometimes,

out of the darkness comes a ripple

breaking my tide of thoughts

and i run

to the place

where i saw the light

only for it to close back and

once more,

leave me alone in my cave

hungry,

for a light, or if too much,

then a person

by my side.

i'm stuck in the cave,

and i'm crouching,

Trying to hide,

so that i may be able to escape

being eaten by the monster

that is called

my mind.
