Time seems to have elongated itself,

As if the world is a field of wildflowers

And I am the only breeze

That carries on.

With each breath of sulfur,

I become even more incapacitated

And sink into the cold, hallow ground

In an attempt to break the fall.

I can see everything outside

This ridiculous microcosm;

I feel my soul creep out of my chest

With complete disgust.

So I break down,

And fall to my weak, bleeding knees

As time moves madly on-

And I stand still.
