​

Into the World

 

It grips me like a vice

The cursed stranglehold that won’t let go,

And I am forced to move towards my doom,

I know not where I go,

 

And all my memories are fading fast,

They slip away from me.

I stretch my mind, I strive to grasp,

They slip away from me.

I lose, I lose who I was,

I lose who I was.

I lose, I knew who I was,

I lose who I was.

 

The walls come crashing in.

They crush me as they push me down

Towards the light, towards the stinging air

That will be my new home.

 

And I feel lost among the endless space,

The hands that pull me through

Towards forgetfulness. Air sears my lungs,

I cry for what I knew.

I knew, I knew who I was,

I knew who I was.

I knew, I knew who I was,

I knew who I was.

Who I was.
