No One Would Grieve

The universe is smaller

It's shrinking faster now

There's not as many trees

I can't hear the birds anymore

I don't even feel the wind anymore

I don't breathe

I've tried but it seems so foreign

I don't remember how

I don't blink

I

Am

Not

Human

Not anymore

I'm either dead or dying

Both aren't great

This is definitely a dream

A long, drawn out, nightmare

I'll wake up soon

I'll wake up to my parents

If I ever had any

I'll go to school

If I was still in school

I can't hear the voices anymore

They used to be so loud

They used to keep my company

The very first voice I heard sounded real

It sounded so real

It echoed of the forest walls

It was so real

It was so real and now it's gone

It gave up on me

I don't want to give up

I want to fight

For the first time I can remember

I'm going to fight

I'm going to escape this hell
