Oderint Dum Metuant

Darkness is crawling.

Silence is too loud I can't hear anything.

The room is crowded but felt like I was alone on it.

I was screaming but no one can hear me.

Pain is eating me piece by piece.

Weakening every part of me.

Suddenly, I felt like dying.

Losing the last breath that I have.

I know I can't hold on any longer but I'm still keeping faith.

Omne initum difficile est.

Inhale, exhale.

Holding to the thin string of life.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Oderint dum metuant.
