Nothing

Its dark.

So dark.

I stumble.

Just trying to find the light.

Looking. Looking.

Looking. Looking.

Nothing.

This room is empty.

There is nothing in here.

Suddenly a muffled noise.

Footsteps.

Stomping closer and closer.

Screaming and shouting.

Repeating the same words.

Shouting.

Ringing throughout the room.

Getting louder and louder.

Imprinting themselves into the wall.

Words in bright neon lights.

Flashing.

You are not good enough.

You will never be good enough.

No one will ever love you.

No one wants you.

Forever alone.

They sink in.

Everywhere I run in this room.

Those words follow me.

They keep chasing me.

And I cannot escape from them.

Collapsing against the wall.

Head in hands.

Months of this.

Trapped.

Finally, a different stifled voice.

An unfamiliar sound.

Laughter.

A crack.

Followed by a rumble.

A crack widens through the wall.
