I lift my head

And scream.

No one

No one can hear my cry.

Dark

Dank

Gray

Murky

The waters suck on my feet.

Long ago

I lost my shoes.

My head is too heavy.

I can no longer hold it up.

The Slough of Despair

Is conquering me.

Securing another set of bones.

I cannot go on.

Sleep…

Sleep in the waters…

Sleep forever.

Forever comfortable.

Forever with companions.

Forever sunken below

The swirling waters of Despair.
