The mind numbing torture has returned

Losing grip on the world once again

Spiralling down into this pit that I have created

My hands clawing at the dirt as it falls back down on me

Burying my body in my own contempt

Swallowing mouthful after mouthful of my own demented thoughts

It has transpired my time has come

I am buried amongst those dreams that I once thought were magic

Darkening is the horizon

As I stare my future in the face

My mental well being is slowly falling from its once sturdy place

The guilt has become a wretched reminder of my simple existence

Where will I be tomorrow when this all come tumbling down

Will I still be able to hold together for another day?

Or shall I completely lose it all

All this torment becomes from a single thought

A figment of my imagination makes me play this horrid game

Like chess it has begun and it seems to me

That I am only a pawn in this game

This game we like to call life

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.

Poe,

this is brilliant - there are
many a day where I must cast these
thoughts aside in order to move on.
