The Ringing

What day is it

or has it been weeks

it couldn’t be years

but i swear i can hear something

crawling in my left ear

my aches are telling me hours

one, two three,

is this a root from a tree?

its so dark in here

WHAT THE f**k happened to my hair

i need to get out of here fast

these walls are so soft though

silk maybe?

no no no I’m just crazy

or am I?

wait what’s in my eye!

okay I’ve had enough

no more of this funny stuff

WIGGLE YOUR big toe

this thing feels like a bone

wait am I even alone?

there is a string in here too

what the heck is this for

if I’m quiet enough i can hear something

is that a bell?

im buried alive what the hell!

how did i get in here?

a bell to signal the dead is undead

did i lose a bet again?

drink too much gin?

dammit must be losing my head

oh wait yeah its just All Hallows Eve

too bad no one can hear me scream
