I've seen what could be

And what nothing is

I know what it is like

To be in the center of the void

Also

Outside of it all...

I sit in the chair
The Doctor looks at me
She says nothing...
She injects the serum into my brain

I can hear them
I can smell them
I can see them

The memories leaking out
I hope they weren't important
The Doctor sings the lullaby into my ear
I wake up...

Hide...or
They will find you
They will make you
The New One
Grotesque grim creatures

Void & Hollow
A pathetically apathetic vessel
Zombified, hideous
Immortalized & mortified by the pity that they get from this

...

There is one
but...this one
is different from the rest
It sees
It tells

And we become
The New One

When The Alarm sounds...

There is a change

Each key marks the manipulation of the strings

The extraordinary
Supernatural
Otherworldly ensemble

The very sound shifts his being to his core
His essence molded by the penetratingly profound medley

The Alarm calls...
Whispers...
Then extends

NO
don't touch me
don't take it from me
I'm saving it for someone

I shut my ears
I abhor the alarm...

I appear in the wasteland
the sage stands before me

In its most approachable & unassuming form

It looks at me
it says...

If it is freedom you seek,
then it is truth that you lack...

I feel empty...

I am crushed by the mace of lament

Everything goes black
I feel the fragments of myself magnetizing and molding itself anew

I am whole again...

I lay here
Anxiously awaiting my second death
My Final Enlightenment...
