It's dark in here

So much so
That I can't tell where I am exactly

If I reach out
My hands grasp air

The ground is never ending
As if I'm walking on a machine

I can't tell direction
For all I know
I could be upside down

Though that's what it feels like
My world has been put in a dizzy game if hiding

Hide and seek
But I'm counting infinitely

No end to numbers
No end to hiding

I'm disgusted by my own skin
I sometimes scratch at it like it will peel off
And I can just be someone that's not me

I could stop counting
But then I would be faced with reality
Of who I am
And what other people think

Finally realizing who I am
Made things impossibly worse
My new knowledge
Has consumed my every thought
Making me hate myself even more than before

I've lost all respect for myself already
What does it matter if everyone else does as well

Infinity

Ready or not
Here I come
