Plague of torment

Diminished. The blackness consumes
State of mind lingers on my demise
Severed spirit leaves distaste
From the picture this life paints
Depths of internal anguish
Drilling slowly deeper
The light has faded...

Fear rapidly multiplies
Torn, as fear's a state of mind
Tall I'll stand, cemented through these times
Plague of torment, repressed to survive

Forced beyond the barriers of sanity
In a state of solitude
You see in what seems to be clarity
An exit strategy
A forward means to the end. Insanity

Plague of torment
Tunnelled vision
Beauty I cease to perceive
But still I fight to be. I am
On the brink of the boil we'll see
The inner strength in me
