Cast Down At Mercy's Feet
Thoughts that were tame and quiet, now unleashed wild and frantic!
Python desperation squeezes at the throat!
Heart pounding like a racehorse!
Sweat forming perverse rivers seeking every crevice of the body.
.
Understanding and judgment once reigned, now pain's throne rules over reality.
Darkness violates the light of the inner child of innocence.
Hopelessness screams silently at the mind.
A bottomless pit awaits to embrace misery.
Life's sea tossing from one tragedy to another has ceased to exist.
Suicide has claimed it's victim, cast down at mercy's feet.
