Never Paradise

i’m standing in the center of an empty room, staring at a wall painted black.
it fills my vision and i’m pulled into the expanding darkness.
i see nothing and i feel even less as the temperature drops rapidly.
my mind goes blank and my heartbeat slows.
as i fall forward, my stomach lurches and time slows.
consumed by emptiness, a small thought begins to form.
a thought that whispers to me that i led myself here.

Willingly brought to the edge of my sanity
what was once a single wall in a small room now envelops my entire being
the ground never comes when i feel myself falling
my hands stretch ever so slowly, but i continue to fall
my vision fails me and i fall into the void that i have created.
