Stream of Thought

I float, an empty void, except the streams

Sounds are muffled, thoughts stir together

I watch the rivers of color drift by

A particular stream has flown further from the rest, and it grows darker and darker every second.

It swerves suddenly,

darting back to the colors

It taints them, a raging current now

It grows and grows, drowing everything

I scream, I am drowning.

I sink, my thoughts escape me, my sanity leaves me.

The darkness takes over,

I lose the light

My mind covers in shadows

The thoughts consume me

And I cut myself from this world

To save the others from the streams.

I silence myself

To hide the others from my pain
