Slipping, spiraling
Falling down and down
My breath is suppressed
My heartbeat ripped away
By the vibrant color that will define my day
The silence is like pins
From my nose to my toes
The blistering cold comes from within
I marvel at the beauty
I grovel at the power
That taunts me every waking hour
I feel a great pressure on my lungs
Like weights pulling me down
The battle that can never be won
It's all in my head
Or maybe it's not
Falling into a black hole is easier than I thought
When You Are Overwhelmed
Falling Into A Black Hole
