What’s happening around me?
I can’t see.
What’s happening around me?
I can’t hear.
It takes a moment,
To not feel.
It takes a moment,
To not fear.
Horror, around me
But blind I am.
Terror, around me
But protected from the inside I am.
I can’t feel,
Neither see.
I can’t hear,
Neither fear.
I’m strong,
Only on the inside.
So defenseless,
From the outside.
