Dark and Scary Place
don't go in there.
don't enter that dark and scary place
once you enter, you may never leave
it is a place that shows you every catastrophic outcome possible
it is a place that will crowd around every inch of your body
to emphasize how tiny and weak you may be
it is a place that is desolate and cold
cold to the point where your body is burning from the intense freezing atmosphere
cold to the point where the burning is like being stabbed
all over your weak naked self
it is a place that is blindingly dark
you cannot tell
whether or not your eyes are open or closed
it is a place that will always remind you of the loneliness
nothingness
coldness that you will feel
it is a place
that exists within my head
I am in that place
everyday
and despite my desperate attempts to escape
it never lets me leave
