Gone

There's a door inside my head.
It's trapped me here and I can't get out.
Every time I reach for the handle
Pain sears throughout my body and I retreat back in my mind.

I can't come through.
My thoughts are contained.
The outside world is a muffled scream
Trying to get through to me, but failing each time.

I pound both fists on the door.
But it doesn't even make a sound.
My attempts are feeble and I scream out
But all is silent in the nothingness inside my head.

I finally give up and let the black envelope me.
I slowly fade away as I embrace the darkness.
It folds around me and takes me away
Into the pain and loneliness inside my mind.

And the door opens up when I'm gone.
