I long to crawl from my own skin. An emptiness consumes me from within. Far and wide, I search for a home; a prison it is to exist within my own bones. A gnawing begins to fill my brain, maggots and vermin lead my mind astray. I long for the day I am severed from myself. Suffering, I sell my soul to gods of worlds old, just to breathe a life free of the suffering that is me.

A Gnawing.
I long to crawl from my own skin. An emptiness consumes me from within. Far and wide, I search for a home; a prison it is to exist within my own bones. A gnawing begins to fill my brain, maggots and vermin lead my mind astray. I long for the day I am severed from myself. Suffering, I sell my soul to gods of worlds old, just to breathe a life free of the suffering that is me.
