Journey Into The Unknown

A journey deep into the unknown,
I don’t know this place, I just need to find home.
In the heart of darkness all that I see,
Shall soon be discovered and revealed to me.
You could never tell if this story was new or old,
For this is a story that has never been told.
As I learn more, the light bulb starts to flicker,
But as I keep going the darkness grows thicker.
As I travel, I encounter mythical beasts,
Their stomachs growl loudly! looking to feast.
I flee from the beasts; I need somewhere to stay,
I hope I find light to keep them away.
I continue running not sure what to find,
The unknown imagination of a boy who is blind.
