No More

Where do you turn when you are lost,
and the world continues moving past you?
The faces are blurs, as colours swim around you.
Drowning in the chaos, you are alone.
Thrashed around by the current that carries you.

This sea of madness seems endless.
There is no ground on which you can catch your breath.
No sight to give you serenity.
In this dark blue, you are alone.

As strength fails you, you are at the disposal of your
weakness; flesh and muscle.
You hear only the screams of desperation,
and the cry for survival.
Knowing that soon, you will slip beneath the surface.

The sparks of life you witness around you,
are distracting only for the second.
While your heart has been warmed in that moment,
you know that hope has passed for you.

Despair seems like sunshine compared to the darkness that surrounds and swallows your soul.

As your weight brings you down,
you feel the weight of the world lessen.
Although the pressure increases while you descend further into the depths of this darkness, and the light remains out of reach, you can find peace in certainty.

The stress of wondering disappears.
Taking the voices with it.
The ones filling your thoughts with absurdities and nonsense of having a place in this world.
Of making a difference.

You know where your fate lies.
