Dead to me

A cacophony of shadows, and all I feel is fear.

The faint outlines cast without light,

Murmuring and mumbling into my deaf ears.

Reaching out through the gloom and obscurity,

The people I love.

But they are too late,

As I drown in my selfish misery.

The mouth, once mine, screams;

Ricocheting around in the prison cell

Of my mind.
