Zairi

I did what I was best at.I blocked it all out.Nothing could touch me in this safe place inside.I got up from the chair and marched out the room as gracefully as I could,not heeding Sekra's call for me to come back.I walked and walked into the forest crossing the boundary that had always stopped me earlier.There was no fear anymore.Nothing jarred me. I wouldn't let it.I kept on wading in the woods.No longer caring.

My eyes didn't see anything.My ears didn't hear anything.My mind didn't think anything. My body didn't feel anything.But it was necessary I kept on walking. I didn't stop because if I stopped everything would come back and I won't be able to breath.Nothing made sense and numb was not the right word to describe my state.I ventured further.Looking for any shelter that could hide from this world.Hide me from myself.

I walked until I couldn't anymore.Until the sky darkened.Until it was getting difficult to breath.

I collapsed against the big tree I stumbled upon.
