Walking.

I've been walking for a long time.

Was it a long time though? I can't tell. There is no sun, no stars, no light. I'm not sure what is here. I can't describe what's around me.

I've been walking for what feels like days, weeks, years even.

But I'm not tired. I'm not sure what I feel. Can I even feel here?

I want to stop walking, but I can't. Am I even walking? I'm not sure.

I seem to be the only thing here... in this void... if I can even call it that.

The nothing maybe?

I don't know why I'm even walking.

Am I looking for someone, or something? Anything?

But I can't find anything. I can't see anything beyond my own body.

Can I even call it my body?

There isn't a colour around me. It's not black, not white. There doesn't seem to be anything here.

No air, yet I can breath... am I even breathing?

Am I dead? Or am I alive? Was I ever alive?

I want to stop walking, but I can't control my limbs... if that's what they are.

I think I started running before, but from what? Or who?

I'm so lonely, yet I feel another presence. Do I though? Maybe it's not a feeling at all.

I thought there was someone, or something. There had to be a reason I started walking, running? I'm not sure anymore.

I want to cry, but I can't. I don't know why.

I feel hungry, yet I also feel like I just ate. Did I though? Did I really eat? Or drink.

Am I tired? I can't tell.

Where am I even going?

Is there anyone else around?

Am I dead? Am I even alive? Am I even a soul?

What is a soul anyway? I haven't seen anyone, or anything, for what feels like eons.

Is that even possible?

Is this life? Is this death? Hell? Heaven?

It can't be heaven. Why would it be?

Was there ever anyone else? Was it all just me?

Am I even real?

What is real anyway?

Why am I alone?

Will I ever find anything?

I thought I heard someone, but that was only me whispering to myself, yet it was I loud.

I'm not sure how, but what I was told as opposites seem to fit here hand in hand.

It's quite, yet loud.

Dark yet bright.

I'm alone, yet I'm not.

I tired, but energetic.
