Madness of a Tormented Soul

I have no idea what this is... Just a boring day.

Vivid, dancing shadows in the dark
My sight in this dim darkness a blur,
I attempt to feel my way around
But my failure never ceases to recur,
As i come to a wall my heart does lighten
For i imagined the spark of salvation,
I followed the wall my hand as my guide
But found no escape from my isolation,
The wall stretched all around me
Trapping me in its dark cold tomb,
The prickly stab of realisation
Filled my heart with a dread of doom,
I sat therein muttering my end is near
Im trapped in this endless night
I sat in silence mourning my plight
My mind conjuring up scenes
Each more dreadful than the last
My heart kept asking over and over
How came you to such an end
But alas my memory is without
answer
I claw at the wall in desperation
The dense dark render me breathless
I felt the cold drops of perspiration
Drenching my person with wet chill
At the trench of my misery a scent comforted me
A scent of spring, of roses dear
Newfound hope soon gripped my mind
I snapped back to my senses
And with a sane and sound mind
I soon took to thinking
In a house without doors or windows
How could i have made my unwilling nest
Without much thought i looked upwards
And saw to my delight
A small crevise of light sneaking its way
From where the wall met the roof
I mustered up my strength and made a mighty leap
My fingers dug into the crevise
I hoisted myself upwards
And broke through the roof
For the roof was not more than
Cardboard hiding me from my freedom
The first rays of day fell upon face
And I laughed a hearthy roar,
I looked back at my prison but found no trace,
Just a path i had tread sometime before,
I merrily whistled a tune and continued on the beaten path
With not so much a glance behind......

beautifully structured, very descriptive poem. "The first rays of day fell upon face
And I laughed a hearty roar" those lines gave a very warm feeling.
