Life

Retreat and Go Back

Bleeding, bruised, broken
Lying on the floor
In an emotional heap
Of agony and frustration

Crying out into the dark
They hear and turn away
Emotional wreck
Living this life that is ruined

At the bottom of this pit
Climbing and getting no where
Looking and seeing darkness
Suffocating down here...help
Breathing this air that is stale

Pushed back, kicked down
Can't breathe under water
Stones pinning me down
Holding me captive
Not letting me go

Darkness falling upon me
Throws me against the wall
Playing Russian Roulette
Not knowing the outcome

Try again
Not accepting defeat
Not yet
Chewed up and spit out
Splattered on the ground
Get back up

Dying slowly
And realizing
But not yet believing
Ignoring the signs

Screaming out
But no sound
Escapes my mouth
Feeling destruction upon me

This is brought on myself
By me...my fault
And I shall pay
No one else need bother

Trying once again
Heaviness takes over
My head
My heart
My soul

Sinking in quicksand
Devoured by dogs
Giving up now
Not worth all this
