Death Is All I Await...

Sheer darkness filled the void, formed,

As dreadful screams in my mind stormed.

Fighting demons invisibly visible,

I lay defeated, my existence implausible.

Staring into emptiness across the moon’s glow

I hide myself so no one will know.

With the soul so empty, so hollow and torn,

It burns from the brunt of every scar borne.

With memories haunting and nowhere to go,

I run within myself, all exhausted and low.

There’s complete chaos that doesn’t cease,

When all I want is a little peace.

It’s time for my tears, now I know,

To betray me, as they refuse to flow.

I see myself completely drown,

In a fathomless ocean of pain, deep down.

While Life’s falling apart, with nothing to hold on to

I’ve made genuine friends who keep me through.

‘They are lethal drugs’ I hear them say,

But I’ve befriended them as they seize my pain away.

Shot after shot as I take, I free myself from all the pain,

Off the intoxication, I realize, it has strangled me in a deadly chain.

Struggling in the embrace of an eerie silence,

Death is all I await, with utmost patience.
