the voices around you

the voices in your head

you want to get rid of them

don't you?

so did I

such a nuisance

I want

peace

peace and quiet

I've had enough

I ran off

running off like a baby deer

to escape reality

I was exhausted

so I settled down

on the side of a cliff

I'm finally at peace

away

away from society

alone

my heart is quiet

my mind is calm

my soul is at peace

I ran off deeper into the nature

I came across a pond

surrounded by mythical-looking trees

the water was warm

as clear as diamonds

I sat on the edge of the pond

my legs in the water

I closed my eyes

I felt a hand on my shoulder

who could that be?

I opened my eyes

a luminous figure

a blurred figure

pushed me into the pond

the pond wasn't shallow

it was deep

as deep as a dark abyss

I fell into the water

it wasn't warm anymore

it was cold

as cold the Bosporus ocean

I couldn't move

I descended deeper into the pond

My vision was blurry

I felt strangled

trying to breathe

the light was withering away

I couldn't breathe

it got darker

I fear the dark

help me

please

don't leave me

don't leave me alone

in this dark abyss of freezing water

I saw something in the corner of my eyes

the luminous blurry figure

gazing down at me

it was holding something

something familiar

something special to me

a necklace I gave to a dear person

oh what betrayal

I trusted that person dearly

but they left me lifeless

as lifeless as a dead rose

at least I'm at peace now...
