Just another cryptic poem, this is about those who try to get inside my head.
Its too dark in here for you to see,
But arrogantly you calim you can reach me.
You grab a pebble and give it a throw,
It echoes forever of things you dont know.
So you light a torch to guide your feet,
But there is no air, so fire meets defeat.
You take a flashlight, a thought most clever,
But its batteries will not last forever.
Not too far in you find your first clue,
The footprints of others, all as foolish as you.
The chill of the air seeps into your chest,
Do you continue where others sought rest?
Stubborn you are and deeper you go,
The ground below covered in wintry snow.
The air too thin, you struggle to breathe,
Your mind determined, you choose not to leave.
Further you go, at scattered pictures you stare,
When finally a breath, a crack of fresh air.
A little way ahead, a pale blue light,
You`ve reached the end, behold the sight.
A waterfall, that once flowed free,
Has frozen in time and encased me.
A forgotten girl, that forever sleeps,
Protected by ice, that will not seep.
The truth of this is written below,
For any foolish traveller who wants to know.
And as you read, you realise its true,
That the one to awake me could never be you.
Now turn back swiftly, before the batteries fade,
Once lost in this darkness, you`ll never be saved!
