Dirt.

I have burrowed under ground.

Deep into the earths core.

Surrounded by moist dirt and warm shadows.

I feel safe here.

Almost like I have regressed back to the womb.

I lie in fetal position,

listening to the muffled world above.

Please just leave me to the darkness.

Leave me to the silence.

Let me feel nothing,

even if it is only for a while.

Let the world forget me and let me forget the world.

For a moment, please just let me be.
