Laogai - Cathleen

Broken reflections and empty faces, all I see are strangers looking back at me.

Broken people and broken promises all around me pushing me to the edge.

My life flashes before my eyes as I dive in.

When the cold reaches my lungs, it freezes my breath.

My body numbs as I fight for air, feel the grace of drowning at last.

My mind is losing all its humanity, all of the pressure is finally taking over

me.

My mind is fading, losing identity and every second is pushing me to the edge.
