I am awake, yet I don't feel alive.
I am here, but I've forgotten how to breathe.
How do I still exist?
Somehow, I keep going
going and going until there's nothing left.
I am an empty shell
devoid of any feelings
until they crash over me
like an unending tidal wave
a crash of misery and despair
leaving me to drown.
It's been too long since I've had air.
