Everywhere I look is dark
Everything I see is black
My mind is blank
My heart is empty
I cannot feel my body
I am floating away
Into the deep, deep sea
I am not scared,
Because I can feel nothing.
There is nothing left of me to feel
It has all been stripped away
I am disappearing...
I am being all but dissolved into nothing
I am going down a dark twisted tunnel
The tunnel never ends and I am stuck in it forever...
The walls return my screams
And I am beginning to feel again
My mind is no longer blank
And my body is no longer numb.
And yet, the only thing I feel is pain
The only thing I think about is the never ending tunnel.
I feel as if I am in a tornado...
I feel as if I have fallen off a cliff...
I feel as if there is no end and no beginning.
My heart beats very slowly.
Each beat pounds against my chest,
Like a drum.
And everywhere I look is dark...
And everything I see is black.
