iii.

the sounds, the sounds

this is how it starts.

then the sights , the sights

are so much worse.

then there's the feeling,

the dreaded feeling. It's the worst of all.

am I

awake?

alive?

or am I simply

in a trance of some sort?

taunting, taunting

no, that's crossing the line

of my sanity.

sit still, it ends at some point...

just

sit

and

ignore

.

"it'll get better"

"it's okay"

how do you know

how?

and when will it end?

please tell me

when?
