The darkness consumes me Thick hands grasp at me Pulling me down and down Deeper until I am overwhelmed Drowning in the abyss of despair Black, misery, mental agony Isolation, desperation A desperation to escape Escape from this force A desperation to escape Escape from this entity The noose is there at my fingertips I force it down my throat to join the others Swallowing my fate Swallowing my murderer Nothing. Nothing. The torture of its abuse has gone Gone I am free.
