"Believe..."

"I...Just have to believe..."

I choke, struggling forward.

"That one day..."

My body feels heavy.

But...I have to keep going... I...need to.

My head tilts up, gazing into the vast void.

Above me, Below me, Around me, ever present. It eternally remains.

This nameless color. This...vacant world.

It reflects the truth.

The one I cant dare admit.

"...It wont all be for nothing..." I insist.

What other choice do I have but to just keep telling myself that?

𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑒𝑡, 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑡𝑖𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑜.

I just have to keep going. One foot...in front of the other.

Looking around me, in this timeless realm. The sight is all too familiar.

Eyes peering, watching, as if waiting for a moment to strike.

Dim,Lifeless, where the flame of passion once lit.

...Vacant's...

Turning my head slightly, the intention is to let them know, I'm aware of their presence.

"You all wait in vain."

I smile and even chuckle, taking a moment to stare back at them.

The truth is...

"I'm not much different than you."

After all...this cycle is all I know.

How many times have I done this now?

A low chuckle escapes my lips once more, my vision starting to blur.

Walking aimlessly, Repeating endlessly.

Again...and Again...and Again...

How am I supposed to go on when I don't know what I'm doing?

How do I believe when there's no hope for a better outcome in sight?

Walk...just continue walking.

Afterall, what else can I do?

Its hard to breathe... and I can't feel my legs, Am I still walking?

I cant see.

"...I cant do this anymore..."

Lifetime after Lifetime, and yet I still remain here, trapped in a cycle that only I am aware of.

𝐵𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑒, 𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑡? 𝐷𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑏𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘 𝑠𝑜 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑒?

The truth is, I'd do anything to make it stop.

Yet simultaneously, I know I'm powerless to do so.

Just keep going, keep walking.

No matter how much it hurts, or how far into oblivion I find myself in.
