Come Inside

I'd like to extend an invitation to you. An invitation to step inside my mind for a few minutes. We won't be in there for long, and if you chose to decline the invitation, stop reading here.

Are you still there? Are you ready? You might need a flashlight. It's really, really, dark in here. Foggy too. I'm warning you, this might be a little overwhelming. Scary. Confusing. Don't worry. You won't have to be here for long. Don't say I didn't warn you. Ready? Here we go.

It's very dark, get your flashlight ready. I know it's hard to breathe, that's the overwhelming fog and cloudiness. Look, straight ahead. It's CoNfUsIoN ... That's me not knowing what's going on. Not knowing what is causing all of this problem. Not a big problem, but it's there.

And to your right, you see that big thing over there? It's PARANOIA ... Ugly, isn't it? Even though you can't see it, reality lies right behind it, but the paranoia is so big that right now reality isn't visible.

Reality is also being covered up by Blame.... And that's what's also so loud in here. That's why you can barely hear me. Can you audiate what blame is screaming? "It's all your fault."- The sound will get tiring before long, but, don't worry you won't be here long.

And that evil looking thing to the left is HopeLessNess... Isn't it ugly? Isn't it hard to look at? I notice you're trying to look away. But it's really not avoidable. Sorry about that.

Remember to breathe! It's tough being in here! What's up ahead is tense, so brace yourself. Get ready, it's ANXIETY, isn't that something? Look at it. Where are you going? You want to escape? You're having trouble breathing? You don't know what's going on?

Slow down, I have one more area to show you. This one is hard to take in too, but, it's our last stop, I promise.

Up ahead! That big beast! Worthlessness is lurking around. I knew it was around here somewhere, but, it's hard to take in everything because all of these things are so overwhelming, and hard to see in the dark and clouds.

What's orchestrating all of these feelings, you ask? You want to know before we leave? Well, all I know is it's name is DEPRESSION, but, I haven't quite found out where it's lurking or how to make it go away.

It's time for you to go now! What's that? You want me to go with you? I can't! Why not? Look. See these chains? I'm bound to this mind, this mess. I can't escape. I know it was terrible for you being in here, and I'm glad you have the freedom to leave, but alas, I am stuck here. I'm sorry you had to endure all of that, but thanks for stopping by. I hope sometime soon I myself can join you out there. It would be nice.

Watch your step on the way out, and if you don't mind, would you leave your flashlight? It's so dark in here, I need all of the extra light I can get. Thanks for stopping by.
