pain slices through me, razor-like until my soul drips silently on the floor

leaving nothing but the shell of who I was walking this world with blank…staring eyes

tripping, falling into the endless pit that destroys me one cell at a time falling farther

and farther praying to my God that He will lessen the pain when the end finally arrives

do you, evil, know the angst that you cause…do you thrive on emotional distortion?

Memories of strength slowly weave through the bars placed on my mind…in and out and around until confusion and panic drives me to the ground begging for mercy…begging for life to justify itself

my own shadow appears to stalk me…stealing one step behind me until it swallows my entirety, my soul, my being creating despair, loneliness, and anxiety only to breath life in the evil that haunts me.
