A Moment of Truth

It's a dark night, and anger is thundering inside me.
I can't see a thing, and who knows where I could be.
Fear is now taking it's place, and shaking my soul.
I need to run now, before the devil takes his toll.
sadness creeps up on me, and moves me to the ground.
Lying still in place, tears start to fall and my heart pounds.
confusion doesn't take long to settle in fast.
Who am I? I've forgotten my present, future and past.
At last, for now I am at peace, 
my body is not shaken, and all feelings begin to cease.
