Walking in the dark

 

I was walking in the dark
No pathway to follow
No moonlight to guide me
No idea where I was headed
No clue to where I was
No shoes to protect my feet
No shirt to shield from the cold
Not a soul to talk to

Every step was more painful than the one before
Leaving me to wonder
Should I take the next step?
Or just stand where I am?

Is salvation just a step away?
Or am I trapped in an abyss?
