It’s dark, so dark, nocturnal creatures couldn’t see
I am alone, by myself no one in here, but me.
It’s freezing, I have chills, and goose bumps on my skin.
It’s as silent as an awkward moment,
You can hear everything, like the drop of a pin.
I’m afraid, going frantic, confused, and cautious too,
I don’t know where I am, how I got here,
If I’ll be stuck here, like a caged animal in the zoo.
The walls are thick and rough, the ground as frozen as ice,
And there are these enormous objects,
Some plushy, some heavy and wide like dice.
I find a large dial, and I wind the resistant thing,
Frightening music began to play, ding! Ding! Ding!
I search for a door, a window, some form of escape,
But I can find nothing, no help. Can this be? Is this my fate?
Desperately I search, hopeful to find, I try not to give up.
But I grow weak, lonely, lonesome, and I’m not feeling like much.
I give up, and give into the darkness, no one here to save me.
I’m shut out from life, trapped forever,
In this place no way out, no key.
More restless than before, I yell, I scream, till I’m running out of air,
“Someone help me! Save me!”
I bang my hands on the walls, and the floor, pulling out my hair.
Heart racing, hands shaking, I can’t handle it anymore,
I need to get out of this place; it isn’t me, nothing left to live for.
I smash my head, forcefully fall; I hurt myself, hurt until my body turns numb,
I can move no more, scream no more, what have I become?
Delusional on the frozen floor, no longer able to open my eyes,
I ponder about living in another world, not in this black hole, where my body lies.
My crippled body lies there, dies there, paralyzed and passing out,
I can’t hold on any longer, I’m shutting down, goodbye, I tell myself.
One last ding! Of that sickly music and I’m gone.
Escaping to my new reality, I’m free, my body forelong.
