Blackout

I walk to the living room to grab something

Walking, walking

Suddenly I drop

I’m faced with a blackout

With no one to see

No one to go

No one to ask for help

Meanwhile my body is shaking

Shaking so hard

I can’t feel it

I don’t remember it

But folks told me

What I cannot feel

Or understand 

Why is this blackout happening to me?
