Metamorphosis: Chapter 1
| March 7, 2023I feel like a person lost in a dark tunnel, trying to figure out how he got there in the first place.
The danger signals are screaming before I even open my eyes. My heart sinks.
Why does there always seem to be something wrong?
I search my mind for the culprit; what was I worried about yesterday?
Ignorance is bliss, because I become a thousand times more terrified when I remember what it was.
I am paralyzed with fear, my hands are shaking, and my heart is beating fast. Also, in some forgotten corner of my heart, I am sad. Oh, for my carefree life!
I remember a time when I was actually calm and happy, when the future was full of hope and promise.
