I am still awake,
Thinking of the sheer nothingness of life
I fear I am going to dig myself
Further and further
From a rut even I can't escape from.
Every day,
I still feel like running.
But what if I am sad there too?
I remind myself,
Again and again
Of how I used to be enticed
By this freedom I now have
But I'm struggling to feel that way again
And I can slowly feel myself
Rotting away...
For now I'll have to close my eyes,
Dream dreams that will help me forget:
It means absolutely nothing.
