What is it?

This empty darkness surrounds me

This dark tunnel with no end

This cold enveloping around me

This ongoing struggle

What is it?

Is it sleep, taking me over?

Is it a coma, shutting me for a while?

Is it a concusion, slowing my life?

Is it a stroke, cutting me off?

What is it?

What is it?

Why do I feel no pain?

Why do I see my body laying beside me?

Why do I feel dirt crushing me below?

Why do people cry when they see me?

Why do I not understand?

Why do I not remember a thing?

My thoughts are fading slowly

My breathing is fading slowly

My vision is fading slowly

Everything is fading

Leaving

Going

Erased

Slowly.

What is it?

Filling my memories

My thoughts

My family, my friends

My life.

Darkness taking over.

I try to fight it

But my protests are getting weaker

My will is getting weaker

Why am I fighting?

What am I fighting?

What is it?

Nothing bad is happening.

Just a little darkness

Filling me, taking me.

I can't help but think

One last thought

Before this darkness takes control

That's it, isn't it?

I'm dead now.

..................................................................................................................................................

No one knows what death is like, let's expect the worst so that we aren't too dissapointed alright?

 In honor of the dead ones who are either lost forever, wandering, or chilling in heaven- they're the only ones who know what our dreaded end is like.
