Darkness, it devours me.
The silence overwhelms me.
I am nowhere, I am everywhere.
I am nonexistent.

I open my eyes to see the light.
The sad truth of reality is there before me.
The light shows me the darkness
and the terrible shadows that it has created.

I cannot move or think or breathe.
Panic has swept over me.
It is too late, I cannot return.
I am stuck in this awful place forever.

I refuse to believe it,
but the truth stands before me.
Like an unstable brick building in an earthquake,
it falls on top of me and I am buried in sorrow.

Darkness has devoured me.
The silence burns my ears.
I am everywhere, I am nowhere.
I long to be nonexistent.
