Listen!
Do you hear that?
The voices inside you
Are whispering your ultimate fear:
You are alone.
Hush!
Those screams will go unheard.
Your pleas will do nothing
But fill the darkness with echoes,
Resonating, calling back,
But perceived by no one but you.
Because you are alone.
You will find no comforting hand
Or recognize no familiar face.
There is no soul who recalls your existence,
Or will ever pronounce your name.
Because you are alone.
The darkness and fear slither close,
Felt, but unseen,
Coiling their way up your body,
Dragging you to the ground.
Their icy tendrils encircle you,
As you rage against their suffocating grasp.
“Help!” you cry,
“Someone free me from these clutches!”
But no savior comes to your rescue.
“Help me!” you beg once more.
I would, but you see,
I am nothing but a voice in your head
Whispering only the truth:
You
Are
Alone.
