Dear God
I kneel before you
A shattered person
My body brutally savaged by my own hand
My heart and mind ridden with violent misery
And my soul rapidly perishing under this malicious reign of torment
I kneel before you
A defeated person
Ceaselessly asphyxiated
By an imperceptible coffin
Formed by the crippling pain
Shrouding my mortal remains
At Your mercy
I collapse before you
My life an agonizing blur of torture
I surrender to You-my soul crying out for eternal, peaceful decay
My final plea to You for deathly freedom
For God,
I am not worth the wasted breath You sustain me with
