Recently got sucked into a whirlwind,

Post pre-teen nightmare.

Nobody understands,

Except those flying past me

Stuck in the same scenario.

No way out.

Can’t see

Can’t hear

A damned thing.

Only thing I can perceive

Is everyone outside the mess

Telling me what I have to do

What I have to choose.

How can they expect these things

From me? Who

Can’t see

Can’t hear

A damned thing.

There’s no light

At the end of this funnel.

No silver lining to this cloud.

Things only get dimmer

Dimmer

Dimmer.

And then I’m falling.

No way out or up.

Only one way to go,

And that’s down

Down

Down.

And I’m only farther

From getting out of this hell-hole,

Where I

Can’t see

Can’t hear

A damned thing.
