Succumb To Illness

All those days spent in pain. Memories washed away by the rain. To have misplaced a forgotten loved one. Falling into the depths of illness. Now, I realize what it is like to succumb. Where did those days of greatness go? What have I become? A monster with great power? Maybe, I have succumb to illness. My heart begins to beat. Fast Faster Even Faster As I hear the sirens buzzing in my ears. In my mind... I feel empty and dark. In my mind... I'm dying inside. In my mind... Voices are screaming words of terror. I have lost. The battle of life and death has been done. It's what I hate most. I have lost. As I tell myself that it'll all be over soon... I hear my mother saying "Sweetie wake up." Stunned to death I awake. Frantically, searching through my mind. I find that I will never succumb to illness.
