Descend

An infinite spiral downward... a bottomless cavern, Thinking I'm pulling myself up and out.... When in reality I'm pulling more rope down off an endless spool, I'm forever encased in this tomb, A tomb, I myself have chosen... The world is alive and breathing above me, While vile and repugnance rains down upon the... More I pull, the further I descend, My strength resembles that of a child... Intellect has become stagnant... Hopelessness engulfing who I've chosen to be, An unwinnable war, waged in the belly of the beast... How far must I fall before my pain will cease? It has been said," He will not give you more than you can bear". But in some cases...cases that are extremely rare... You will find us assembled here... Down here, waiting.... Waiting for the time, to unleash all that you fear! Until then... look through your closed eyes into mine... Look past my blackest eyes, what do you see...? A warning for the... you won't like what you'll find!
