Fading 

Slipping

Not being able to grasp an emotion 

Eyes staring straight ahead

Not focusing on any object 

Just blurred vision

Blinking

Skin tightened 

Pulling from the salt water leaking down that has now dried

Air filling lungs to full capacity 

Unleashing the negative energy 

The mind resembling a brand new sheet of paper

After digging up mental documents 

Collected and labeled “Archive of Darkness”

After the inner stabbing 

The clenching and choking

Despaired 

Unable to feel at peace

Yet the fire that burned moments beforehand is absent 

A sense of simply being 

Existing
