Into a dark place thy descend
The woes of ages absorb the mind
No light, no laughter in the air
A cold lair all your own
Where the broken mind calls home

The den thine iniquitous self hides
Ones darkest corners in a fractured mind
No place to wantonly go there
And yet dragged  with no hope at all
Trapped within your twisted soul

As evening comes, darker still
Cagged by your minds ill will
Tortured by the very consciousness
The rage and fears that you possess

Release from this is all you seek
Some solace no more to weep
Light to lift you from the depths
To be yourself and not a shell.
