Gasping For A Life by Karen Knight Bennett
Pain buried so deep
A coffin full of loneliness
The pungent scent of earth seeps forth
Infiltrating every pore of my being
Sinking deeper into the pit of darkness and self denial
Gasping for a life
Sands of reality cover my eyes
Manifesting my future if I remain entombed
Slipping, sliding, losing ground
Triumph prevails as I step forth onto solid ground
A new life is found
Karen Knight Bennett is from south Arkansas. She is married with a great daughter and a son.
