Rescue
a Poem by Raquel Swann
Sinking into quicksand
Every move I made took me
deeper, further towards
Nothingness.
Drab clothing, white walls
Those that awaited me
On the other side did so,
Just so they could say,
“You’re meaningless,”
As I sunk into the abyss,
a hand reached out for me,
As I looked downward,
there is nothing for me down there
Any longer.
I grabbed the hand,
It hoisted me into a world
I could never have dreamed
Was possible.
