Complete silence wraps itself around me.

If I focus I can hear the ticking of the clock, the voices of my neighbours through the thin walls.

Unable to care my hands move and my head reaches for words to somehow express what I am feeling.

Soon I will realize that I feel nothing.

Utter emptiness consumes me.

My mistakes are engraved in my body.

Never will they wither.

My responsibilities grow.

For some reason, my eyes still open to the unbearable light.

For some reason, even though I’ve died..

My awareness of the remedy overpowers my senses.

Even though I am exhausted,

Even though I don’t want to see the light anymore,

For you,

I will.
