Russell Sivey Poet Dramatic Verse

Annihilative Obliteration

Self-loathing and beating
A dark passage placed
Beneath the old ways
Where darkness dwells
Sadness runs rampant
And depression reigns
I visit this lonesome place
At times when I’m down
It pays to remember
This area of torment
When days I did bleed
And suffer profusely
I’m glad to be out of it
Living a better life
Bettering myself daily
Instead of destroying
Every piece of me
And tearing any ounce 
Of joy that I might have
And tattering my mind
With a horrible disease
A deeper depression
That’s almost impossible
To regain hope from
But I got myself out
And I will never allow
Myself to get into this
Dying insane death
I will always be free
Of this annihilative obliteration
Of my terrible depression
Not allowing its power
To rule my life ever again

Russell Sivey
