What happens when the bright path
You’ve been walking
Suddenly isn't there
All that’s left is the sunspots blinding you
Leaving you with no sight
Helpless

What happens when the thundering instructions
You’ve been receiving
Disappears
All that’s left is the roaring in your ears
Leaving you deaf
No sounds to interpret

What happens when the voice in your head
That you’ve been hearing
Vanishes
All that’s left is what you’ve done
Leaving you desolate
Nothing left

What happens when you find out its only you?
Your all alone
By yourself
All that’s left is your doubts
Your thoughts
Your fears

What happens then?
What happens when there's nothing left but you?

Brilliant.

I'm not religious, but I can appreciate how you feel.
I sincerely hope you find your own truth, whatever it may be.

And while I'm here, thank you very much for reading my poems & commenting. It means a lot. :)
