I walk in
I hate this place
I know it’s going to happen again

I sit by the bed
And look away
But they’re everywhere

I close my eyes
But it’s worse in my mind
So I scan the walls

The smallest prick seen across the room
I know it’s the cause
As I can sense its start

I can feel the blood
Draining from my head
Like a ruptured bottle of water

And it began
My vision blurring
My senses failing

It happens so fast
Yet in my mind
It’s an eternity

The journey begins
All is white, yet body still visible
And I can’t do anything

I continue to fall
Through the endless emptiness
That causes this blissful horror

I try to embrace
But there’s no response
The journey continues

I am stopped by the floor
And the black approaches
The darkest shade I’ve ever seen

There was no commotion
This black was heaven
Compared to the white

The black never lasts long
But it’s good while it lasts
It’s the best way to escape

The black begins to fade
And the ground becomes apparent
The lights reflecting off of it

I awake in a chair
Chugging down soda
I don’t bother to look up

I see the nurse’s feet
And she offers me her hand

As a means for support

I lift myself up
Still slightly weak
I push myself to walk around

Consciousness returns
Vision, no longer blurry
I exit this dreadful place

The journey is over,
But I know it will begin again…
