Unknown

Awoken in a strange place, cold and dark
No source of light in sight
I search through the mystical world
Of the unknown

I am outside but I am inside,
The sun burns but is not seen,
I am outside but in my cave,
Never am I free to roam

I hear a noise that screams
With the power of a thousand demons
I shriek and cover my ears
It pains me to the core of my soul

This is a world that may seem strange to you
But not to one that I know
An insight to the mind of a girl born
Autistic and blind - Dedicated to my sister, Ariana Mahe
