I'm alone. Alone in this universe. I'm an astronaut drifting around space. My tether has been cut. I'm in this abyss of nothingness. The silence rips at my flesh begging for something to distract me. All I wish for is my music. The sweet melody of love and safety. I'm alone in this hole of emptiness. No person to talk to. No responsibilities to worry about. Living and breathing are my only concerns. My demons fight with me. Telling me to rip off the helmet and let myself end. I can't. I have to much to live for. Even if I know I'll never see any of it again. I'll never see any of them again. I still can't do it. Not today. Not even with this deafening silence. The violent falling of zero gravity. The endless abyss of hellish nothing. I cannot leave today. My heart begs otherwise. My mind screams for someone to reach out and take the helmet off for me. But alas, I am alone. I am empty within. Constant paranoia accompanies me hidden in the dark parts of my thoughts. Telling me that I'm being watched. That I'm going to die. That someone is trying to kill me. No one notices me drifting away.
