The Abyss

By Jeffery Grover •
Again, another day dawns in my mind,
i can't see beyond the dark abyss
of the ever-changing screen. "Stop!"
I yell subconsciously, but nothing escapes
from my mouth. My mouth is closed, unopened.
My eyes, sewn shut with a deep sleep planted inside.
I'm stuck inside
with no way out. My mind
continues to replay. My eyes left unopened.
I'm falling in the abyss,
the dark pit where nothing escapes.
I wish it would stop.
I wish i could stop,
stop this tragic ascension inside.
i continue to fall, i can't escape.
I'm trapped inside my mind,
this dark abyss
where no light shines for windows are left unopened.
My mind stays unopened,
my functions begin to stop.
They cease while they fall in the black abyss
of nothingness. I am inside,
but i wish i was outside, outside of my mind.
If only i could escape,
Escape
this tragic, unopened
pit inside my messed up mind.
i want it to stop.
i want what is inside
to be nothing like this dark abyss,
This tragic abyss
where only those strong enough can escape,
those who will be stuck on the outside and not on the inside.
If only i could stop,
open my eyes and clear my mind.
find an inside with no abyss.
Create in my mind a hole so that i could escape,
escape what was once unopened and make it stop.
