I'm running
To where I don't know
It's so dark
All I see are outlines of trees
I'm panting
I keep looking back
Something's following
Why can't I see what's behind me?
A cabin
A safe place to stay
Lifeless building
Cold air flies past me
Be quiet
I silently closed the door
Hurry, hide
I find a darkened basement
Find cover
I hear the front door being hit
Don't cry
I crouch underneath an old desk in the corner
Shallow breaths
Trying to keep myself off radar
Who's there
I hear them coming down the steps
What's there
The growls are inhumane
Mouth covered
I close my eyes and beg for death's mercy
Warm air
There's no heater in here
Blissful ignorance
I'm aware this is the end
Light flashes
I sit up, breathing heavy
Haunting nightmares
Once again I feel myself escape the grasp of sweet death
Disappointment, Dread
I'm so exhausted with life
Time's passing
I'm falling behind in this race
Feeling numb
All I want is to live, all I'm doing is surviving
Social retreats
I just want to lay in bed forever
Lost hope
Tears used to stain my comforter
Wandering, Lost
I'm trying to find my way
Giving up
I don't want to, but it's getting hard not to
Hearing voices
Telling me what's the point
Feeling empty
I'm becoming a shell
Hollowed Soul
Is what I will soon be.
