Escape

Falling asleep

Needing to leave

Everything so dull

And boring

And gray

Clocks ticking slowly

Closer and closer

Stopping not once 

Nor twice

Perhaps never

And nobody catches you

Falling endlessly

In a void of darkness

And chaos

And bliss

And color starts fading

Bleeding out of feelings

Try and daydream

But waking up

Is a nightmare

Nothing is different

All of it blending

In a whirlwind of distress

And it never stops

Does it ever end

Or did it even

For a single moment

Begin.
