TEST SUBJECT 32765377

PLEASE MOVE TO THE TESTING FACILITY repeat x2

COMMENCE WITH THE TESTING

The darkness surrounds me

Yet my life is filled with noise.

I put on a smile to keep the others happy

But it only hurts more when no one notices

How many years have I been doing this

One? Two? No.

It's been my whole life

A life where you have to put on a smile for your mother just to calm her down.

A year where you help so many people but they forget you in an instant.

A month when everyone forgets your special day.

A week to imagine all the lies you will tell to keep everyone happy.

A day where anything you do correctly, is forgotten. So you have to forget too.

An hour when you say your true feelings, but no one listens.

A minute... where time stands still.

The world around you stops.

Thirty seconds the bright lights surrounding you slowly fade​.

TEN SECONDS.

Darkness

Everywhere there is darkness

No light will get through.

Darkness like a shell,

A shield from everything that hurts.

FIVE SECONDS.

So little time, yet many things to accomplish.

THREE.

Keep smiling

TWO.

Just remember

ONE

That darkness is there to hide your tears.

ZERO.
