The pain is everywhere,
and the blackness
is closing,
closing in on me.
I can hear them, as though
in a dream,
saying hold on,
you can make it
but suddenly
up is not up
and down
is not down
and I cannot tell
which way is life
which way is death.

The author's comments:
I had a strange dream where I was the person dying, and it was really interesting. I'm not really a dark personality, but poems are how I express hopelessness and sadness.
