x

The walls breathe—they see, they grin,

Cracks twist to faces, cruel within.

The light blinks truths I dare not keep,

Shadows rise, devour my sleep.

137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon5TKKof3m

The air grows thick, it claws at me,

A suffocating calamity.

Their whispers twist like coils of smoke,

Each word a chain, each thought a yoke.

137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlehib6GlW

I claw at walls, I carve my name,

But letters writ in dust bring shame.

The mirror shows a stranger’s face,

A hollow form, a void’s embrace.

137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJxRFmgu5W

They stole my name, my life, my mind,

And left behind no trace to find.

The stars above are daggers bright,

Mocking me with their endless light.

137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqHUbooz9r

My screams rebound, the madness swells,

A symphony of endless hells.

The dark surrounds, it laughs, it taunts,

It feeds upon my desperate haunts.

137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUZbREQj4Y

The walls close in, I can’t escape,

My mind folds in, reshaped, remade.

Madness grins, its eyes aflame,

It whispers low: "You’re mine to claim."
