I am swimming in a sea of ink
During a total eclipse
The world is black
And I blend into the background
Like a chameleon at midnight
Engulfed in in the shadows of others
No stars are blinking
No moon is shining
No light coming through the clouds
And I can’t even see my hands
When I hold them right in front of my face
The ink turns into rock
The air disappears
I can’t breathe
I can’t speak
I can’t see
All I can do
Is remind myself of all the mistakes that led me to this moment of darkness
And mourn the loss of light
When the darkness takes over
And I am lying in a puddle of my own tears
I don’t think
I don’t do
I just lie there
In the abyss I call my mind
This poem was inspired by Juliette Ferrars, the main character in the Shatter Me series, and her struggles.
