living in a black hole

I’ve always felt the cold creeping into my skin

am I dead?

nope, I don’t think I am

but why can’t I feel my body moving

I am stuck

my heart is beating rapidly

like it’s in a race

and never stopping


I sleep late yet I woke up so early

yes, I still have dreams

but it makes no sense

sometimes I found myself outside

holding a shovel, digging

what for?

then in the middle of the ocean

not doing anything, just there

letting myself drown

when I even know how to swim


why am I having these dreams?

I don’t even know why


wait

I also remembered that one time

that sometime

that was something

I was walking in the sea of people

surrounded by familiar faces

I tried to say hi

but no one knew I was there


I was just there

stood for an hour

feeling so little and invisible

then I covered my face

with both of my hands

slowly kneeling

showing signs of defeat

now it’s time for me to go

I am so done in this world


I close my eyes

please don’t wake me up

allow me to feel half dead

I need a very peaceful sleep

please let me sleep

perhaps

just let me close my eyes forever

so pain could never bother me again
