What is misery? Why it is the darkest pit of our hearts and souls. We are dragged towards it, Grasping hopelessly at something to hold. Almost as if Achlys herself is lurking about Pulling us further, never intending to let us out. No, rather, we are pushed towards it Forced to accept this fate by the rest of them It’s ironic, in a world where we are told to be free We are still forced into a fatalistic indoctrination Believing all the while, that we are going to be fine When in fact, we are going to be escorted to self-damnation With a spear in our back and a smile on our face It’s sickening, isn't it? This twisted image of the human race. We lie and steal and cheat and **** each other, But for what? What is the purpose of this self-destructive behavior? It is the false salvation of our misery, Our false belief that the misery of others is Evidence of our superiority, Providing an escape from our own melancholy

I know it's not very good, but it's my first attempt.
