Trapped

Total silence, there are no sounds
All around blackness abounds
Where am I? I do not know
As I lay here time moves so slow

I cannot move, I think I’m dead
The thought of this fills me with dread
For all eternity here I will lay
And slowly rot into decay

And then the sun brings morning again
I remember, I am trapped, here in my brain

Hi Steve,

You described very well, what exactly I felt, one time so long ago, in the surgery room.

You most be experienced it in someway! If not, how you can express in words it this way?

I know, our mind and imagination can do and go things, sometimes impossible for others.

Congratulations for your very well written.

Hug and Blessings
