Blackness

The blackness chases me; relentless in its pursuit...
 Like a falling wall of guilt, I could not repute...
 Anxiety grips me at every turn...
 I'm in an endless cave with a dark lantern...
 It's like looking up from an empty grave...
 Like being terrified, but acting brave...
 I have thrown away all I had...
 There's no returning fate; it's ironclad...
