There was a time;
I told myself to stop feeling
Because if I only ever felt,
I would've got lost.
There's a place,
Where I always end up drowning
My skin being pulled
By everyone who lay an eye on me.
Sometimes it's a never-ending nightmare
As I feel trapped;
Unable to free myself
From the arms of the devil.
One voice after another
Rumbling like thunder
Yet nowhere to be located
Screaming for help
At the top of my lungs
But who am I yelping for?
I am damned to suffocate.
---------------------
The air begins to thicken
My chest tightens itself
I can no longer breathe.
I am paralyzed;
A room full of strangers,
Silently judging me
As I stare vacantly into the distance.
The piercing voices surrounding me
Echoing through my ears,
"It is all but nothing;
"It is all in your head."
But if it all were nothing,
How could I be living it?
