“Find Me” Sad Regretful Poem by Dixie

I am a feather lost at sea,
I am but a drop of dew,

Awaken in total darkness;

Falling Down a Tunnel by Camille Sharon

Falling Down a Tunnel

I’m falling down a tunnel
it’s slippery like a slide
it’s way too dark in here
there’s no light from outside.

There’s no way to get out
there’s no way to get back
the walls are wet and cold
I’m frightened of the black.
