I stand in the darkness,
The scars on my skin exist only in my memory
Like a half-remebered dream,
I can recall only about half of the scenery
My location hasn't changed,
But everything feels upside down
Like in another dimension,
To this reality am I bound?

My eyes begin to adjust,
I can see only black figures
There's no one else here,
And my anxiety is triggered
I'm lost,
But my path was never rerouted
I'm my best and worst enemy,
Because my insecurities I never scouted

The only light I see,
Is in my eyes through a reflection
It's dim but not diminished,
Like my soul needs a B12 injection
Despite my position,
I know I'll find a way
To break out of this dark room,
And again see the light of day
It may not be today,
Or even anytime soon,
But a little more light a day,
Eventually reveals the full face of the moon
