Silent Darling (Opening Paragraph)

I don’t know. I know nothing. My mind is blank like blank, empty, clear pages. But I can see ruby red, crispy, autumn leaves blowing around in the wind. I can see children laughing, running, playing. Yet I am in my own world. No laughter reaches my ears, no wind makes me shiver. All I can hear is the music; the music that has been playing my whole life. It is a cold and icy tune. But I keep on turning and spinning and leaping. But the thing is I’m drowning; drowning from the tunes icy waves, dark and black and crashing over me. I’m so lost; so deep in this water that my lungs burn and no sound will ever come out of my mouth again. I will be silent and hollow for ever. My eyes will watch the outside world but my heart will never be with it. I am on the outside looking in. I am trapped in a cage and will never get out. I can never escape. But I’m not lonely or sad or angry or hurt. I’m not happy or in love, or unique or special. I am silent. I am nothing.
