As you sit by the poolside, the world around you are cloaked in an inky darkness, only illuminated by the soft, silvery glow of the moonlight. It's 2:30 AM, a time when the world is usually lost in dreams, yet you find yourself ensnared in the wakefulness of your own turbulent thoughts. and you're the only soul awake at this late hour. You dangle your legs into the pool, feeling the cool water envelop them, providing a subtle relief from the heavy weight of your emotions.
The night's stillness seems to amplify the emptiness in your mind. It's as if you're suspended in a void, where nothing else exists but the shadows and the memories that flicker before your eyes.

As you watch these scenes play out, your hand brushes against the rough surface of the poolside, Multiple cuts, self-inflicted, run across your skin, resembling a desperate plea for release. Your fingers tracing the many scars and cuts that mar your skin. It's as if the wounds are etched into your very being, a testament to the battles you've fought, both internal and external. Blood trickles from your hand, gathering in small, Blood flows from these wounds, merging with the pool water, forming a macabre waterfall. The crimson stream is a visceral reminder of your inner turmoil. Glistening pools on the ground, resembling a waterfall of crimson tears.


Strangely, you don't feel the pain that should accompany such injuries. It's as though the emotional weight you bear has numbed your physical senses. The pain is there, somewhere deep within, but it's become a distant echo, you’re trapped in a bizarre liminal space, where the distinction between past and present, overshadowed by the relentless flood of memories and emotions. You don't know what to do, and the uncertainty adds to the heaviness in your chest.


The moonlight, the pool, the cuts—each element is a symbol of your inner turbulence, a reflection of the struggle you're experiencing.
In this surreal moment of quiet, you’re lost, in the eerie beauty of the moonlit darkness, you find yourself grappling with a profound sense of numbness. The pool, your self-inflicted wounds, and the relentless stream of blood serve as a grotesque metaphor for the chaos within. It's as if the scars and the memories have become inseparable, and the only thing you're acutely aware of is the raw, all you feel is a haunting void, unfiltered flood of emotions that have carved their mark upon your soul. a lone soul seeking solace in the quiet despair of the night. The pool water ripples with the weight of your unspoken pain, and the moon watches on, casting its silent light on a soul lost in the labyrinth of its own emotions.
