Catastrophic Clouds

Between Nowhere

At one point in my life, I wrote about traveling down a lonely road
At first, I thought it was the right thing to do at the time
But the road seemed to continue on for miles
And when I looked back, I couldn't see where I had started
I took a break and decided to step off the road
I kept walking till I collapsed
I felt lost and couldn't find my way back
So I lay there and closed my eyes
I didn't die there like I wanted
When I opened my eyes, I found myself somewhere different
I stood in a long hallway lined with doors
I took a step forward and heard the echo ripple down the hall
A part of me was afraid, but my legs kept moving
As I walked past the lights, they would turn off behind me
I tried to open the doors, but they were locked
No one answered when I tried to knock either
I start to feel all sorts of emotions
They cut inside me like razor blades
I realize there's no escape from this pain
I pretend that I'm okay
But eventually, I let the darkness take over
And that's when a door opened for me
A light that almost blinded me was behind the door
I flinched, thinking it was going to hurt me
