Glass from Life}•{Less by S'efforcer

Drop me down in the somber chamber of reflection to sleep in silent isolation.
Let me dream forever as a drift down the river, flowing to the end.
There's no itch, nor no shiver;
I forget me again.

Take it in: artificial rays of light peer into me.
Paper walls; leave me exposed, yet secluded.
Breathing in, my lungs shutter in synchronicity with the seconds I descend into a haze of medication.
A drab cycle spinning.

The curtains of our eyes, weighed down in exhaustion,
sleeping for days, unawakened and nauseous.

Some familiar, look around
Inverted world - upside down.

What of the self that I’d known?
With every pill, I feel it falling away.
An ethereal erasure, taken to the fabric of my fragile state of being,
Removing all of my feelings.
Screaming at ceilings.
