Dark and cold.

Fear settles in my mind.

My shoulders hurt so badly from the many burdens I carry,

But I still can't understand what those burdens are.

The silence is deafening, the fear still resounds,

All I can hear is the sound of my own labored breathing,

And the overwhelming voices, that repeat year after year

The darkness is blinding, the pain resonates,

All I can see is the crimson-red that stains my hands,

And the dark blanket that is the night sky.

Who am I? What am I? Why am I here?

I don't know.

I cry.

I cry, and I cry, and I cry.

I cry.

I cry, because that is all I've ever known.

And all I will know.

But, alas, I woke;

To a small gray tabby cat, left all alone.

I smile softly, but the feeling was still there.

It never leaves me.

And then, when the darkness begins to show,

And the stars dot the sky,

I lay down on my bed,

Only to repeat the living nightmare once more.
