A pain I feel
For reasons unreal
My stomach aches
Every beat of my heart a quake
Why is it
I'm still awake

These feelings I know
I try not to let show
Except to paper
For it does not judge
Even in the sorrow in which I plunge

My mind unraveled
And the color of ink
Deeper into sorrow i sink

A journey
I go
Through a damp cave
Where no lights glow
As i near the end
My sanity will surely ascend
Sorrows no more
And life seems less a bore
