Mine Shaft Poem

I'm down in the mine,its dark and cold,
I can't see anything beside from candle lit gold.
I'm scared of not being found and eerie sounds,
The Mineshaft is long and.....and its creaking all around.

Its day two and I have nothing to do,
I've got no food and I'm thirsty too.
My belly aches and I just want to go home.

It's now day three
I can hear noises up above and gunshots fires
are they the sounds of rescue?
Am I saved?
I can hear voices, they are calling me,
I'm saved, I'm saved
I can live again!
