• I had once thought
    that maybe this was life.
    No love, no hate, no feelings.
    My deepest feelings would never be shared.
    I was so frightened,
    I didn't know what to do.
    Face my fear, I told myself!
    But it's so hard, so confusing.
    Do you know what it's like
    to wonder in darkness?
    It never stops, never ends.
    It goes on like a story with no ending.
    Do you know how it feels
    to be afraid of something
    that you can't do anything about?
    That you didn't ask for or even think about?
    Do you know what it's like? Do you know how it feels?
    It's complete and pure emptiness.
