Unhappy Souls

My hold on life is begining to seethe.

These walls are caving in,

I can't breathe.

The memories of the things I've seen

 

Echo the pain of the record

Of my existence being whipped clean.

Another day in this room

Cluttered with unhappy souls.

 

Another night steps in,

Just as quickly as it goes.

These chilling thoughts

Take over my every cell.

 

My body is shutting down as

My control begins to rebel.

With my heart beating way

Faster than it should,

 

I realize this is for my own good.

No one in this awful world will

Even become distraught.

So I let myself fall to the

 

Enveloping darkness,

Without a second thought.
