Lament

Clawing and ripping up through my voice
Denying me all reason or choice
Trying in vain to push back the shadows
Watching as the black ink darkness flows
Mixing in with the sick colors of my reality
Twisting in and blurring, distorting my mentality
The sound of my voice echoing off these rapidly constricting walls
Defining and at the same time giving shape to these twisting halls
Claustrophobia and agoraphobia ripping me apart
The hollowness spreading like spider webs up through my heart
I can't see and I feel asphyxiated
I'm so alone and feel alienated
The poison and loathing is smearing together within me
The infection growing from a world I can no longer see
Trapped in my own sanctuary as I struggle against this constant descent
The sound of my ripping throat as I'm lost inside, a fitting lament
