in the beginning, there was darkness
a darkness so potent and so deep
that there was no escaping
there was no air to breathe
it was suffocating
and lonely
how will I survive this?
can I survive this?
am I even alive at all?
what is living
if there's such a weight on my chest
that I cannot take
a single breath
but if i’m having these thoughts
and I can scream inside
what if it’s not my body
that needs to die
something else exists
something is here with me
these thoughts I’m having
this voice in the deep
“the beginning”
