Oblivion

By R Samyuktha

Blinding pain and dark feelings

I try to navigate through my endless thoughts

Seems like I’m lost in my own mind

since I hear voices calling out to me,

Coaxing me to give in.

I close my eyes and see memories flash behind my eyelids,

but it’s all a blur.

I try to hold on but every time my fingers brush past the images, I bleed.

Even though I’m aware that I’m being lulled into a false sense of hope,

I let myself go.

Push myself into oblivion so that,

I can stop running away.
