Standing in the middle of nowhere
The walls around me started caving in
My hand that was fine
I felt the invisible blood trickle down it
Looking for the hidden scars
I found myself to be someone I didn't know
Sharp pain aching through my mind
I could feel the smiles of everyone around me
The ones whom seeing happy made me happy
Now felt like strangers to me
Their stares creeped me out
Shivering with fear
I could feel the anxiety in me rise
Standing in the middle of nowhere
The walls around me started caving in
My hand that was fine
I felt the invisible blood trickle down it
Looking for the hidden scars
I found myself to be someone I didn't know
Desperately looking around
I tried searching for someone I didn't know
Was I looking for myself or was I the one that's lost
No point in looking inside myself
There lies a deep dark hollow
A void in which I had already fallen and disappeared
Suddenly an arm on my shoulder
Made me flinch and turn around
There stood a familiar strange face
Motioning to the only door open
He put a blindfold on my eyes
Before being blinded, I saw everyone else the same as me
Walking towards the hollow
Standing in the middle of nowhere
The walls around me started caving in
My hand that was fine
I felt the invisible blood trickle down it
Looking for the hidden scars
I found myself to be someone I didn't know
With my covered eyes, I had no choice
Except to keep moving forward
My first step was on needles
Blood could be felt trickling down my feet
Surprisingly there was no pain
This ache felt like home
And I had become numb as I was lost
Standing in the middle of nowhere
Everything around me was dark
Just like my heart that I didn't know if it was there anymore
Looking for I don't know what
I now stood inside the hollow room with my lost self and numb feelings
