Questions of the unsure

By maxstrife

Slipping into darkness with no way out,
the world I know seems to fade away,
the colors are gone and replaced with gray,
soon it darkens and light is dim,
and soon the darkness will truly set in.

Your eyes on me and You I cannot see,
I begin to wonder what interest you have in me
why you'd want to dominate me,
is it my freedom you seek to take, and make me yours to break.

I feel at a loss and know not what to do,
my head full of doubt and my heart beats with fear,
what is the answer to the mystery here.
Give unto you and your desire, give in to my fear and run away,
this is a choice to my dismay.

I need to think, a time out,
to work out all my doubt,
I ask the same old questions in my mind,
do I stay in the world I call light,
a place i am on my own,
or do I give in to the world I call night.
where I am submissive and a slave and punished if I misbehave.

Here I stand in purgatory
the world of neutrality,
and question the concept of my reality.
Who am I?
where do I belong?

Maybe deep inside I know the answer
and want to start,
but the doubt and fear fill my heart prevents me from making a start
