Chains pull me down,
Smoke fills my lungs,
No way to escape.
No way out.

Forced on repeat,
Like a never ending clock.
Bruises come,
Then they go.
Only for more to appear.

Fear strikes my heart,
Worry slices my body,
Regret tears at my eyes,
While loneliness haunts me.

It stares me in the eyes,
Laughing at my pain.
Nothing can stop it,
Only death will end it.
