Sadness envelops My heart and soul Keeping me confined Choices taking their toll. Freedom seems so far away Melting into an abyss of emptiness. ****** parts and organs dying Not coping well with all of the stress Something gripping me, leaving me crippled Tortured by my own worst enemy, myself Too late for the past, so tainted Unforgiven, unwanted, enough tears to fill the well. Never enough, never okay Seeking revenge, but not today. Isolated and alone, mortified The wrongs I’ve done, now need to pay. Frozen in fear of loss My heart is protected with walls Unwilling to trust another Hemmed within myself, death now calls. Depression eating me alive Like a serpent that devours My time is running out These are my final hours. The cycle starts anew A million nails through my flesh The misery and pain endure Now I can only guess. Clouded judgement causing scars Leaving me utterly alone again The past becoming the present Going back to the sickness that has always been

SCARS
Sadness envelops My heart and soul Keeping me confined Choices taking their toll. Freedom seems so far away Melting into an abyss of emptiness. ****** parts and organs dying Not coping well with all of the stress Something gripping me, leaving me crippled Tortured by my own worst enemy, myself Too late for the past, so tainted Unforgiven, unwanted, enough tears to fill the well. Never enough, never okay Seeking revenge, but not today. Isolated and alone, mortified The wrongs I’ve done, now need to pay. Frozen in fear of loss My heart is protected with walls Unwilling to trust another Hemmed within myself, death now calls. Depression eating me alive Like a serpent that devours My time is running out These are my final hours. The cycle starts anew A million nails through my flesh The misery and pain endure Now I can only guess. Clouded judgement causing scars Leaving me utterly alone again The past becoming the present Going back to the sickness that has always been
