Drenched In Silence

Unbearable thoughts barreling through my head Decaying in this silent chamber... Where I desperately cry for help Words come out useless...I have no capability to yelp They haven't collapsed in the hands of the unforgiving jail-keeper This pain grows in my bones...making me weaker No one bothers to consider me Circulated by envious glory That snicker at my carrion body as it drops in dripping failures Dragged by the sickening thought of living with jailers As if i had no outlook to life... I'm still placed in this cold-heartened chamber Because I'm drenched in silence... haunted by the deafening atmosphere sensing a load of terrorized fear Shame embraced me, never leaving my presence Cautious of the hovering thoughts, transforming itself into my dreadful, panicky past This hopelessness doesn't seem to matter In this chamber of deceitfulness Someday...hopefully Someday... This silent chamber will shatter For now, I'll abide in this loathsome, silent chamber Until God, My Savior, will shatter this wretched place Into smithereens

Okay so this one's first on the list. Whatever were you going through at the time you wrote this? I sure hope everything's behind you now. Even if this is an awesome dark piece, nobody deserves to feel so much pain.
