Feeling the cold, hard slab of rock against my bare feet,
I look up to seek light,
But there's nothing but darkness,

Affliction fills my entire being.

I fall to my knees and lay in my despair,
I am alone.
The realisation declares war on my thoughts,
Without hesitation, I surrender and admit defeat.
As the white flag waves me away,
I begin to crawl,
Searching, longing to find strength,
I need to get up,
But my body is weak, almost lifeless.
It's a fight I never had a chance of winning.
