The Silence

The silence seemed to grow

As I lay in the sensory deprivation tank

Only the thoughts in my head

Starting to hallucinate

Colors dripping around me

Like water from a broken pipe

I wonder if I’m going crazy

Seeing flashes of light in space

I scream but nobody hears me

Remember me for faster sign in

I push the button say I’m ready to get out

But nobody comes

Feeling like my brain is braking

Has the zombie apocalypse started?

How long have I been in here.

LET ME OUT!

I scream, banging the walls

I see nothing, and the silence is driving me mad

Finally, the tank is opened

And I got out crying like a baby

I look around and see everything is ok

Maybe I’ll come back next week?
