Hurting

My body is full of a terrible pain 
But it is not of the physical kind
It’s a darkness that is haunting me 
And it tortures my soul and mind

It has turned my life into turmoil 
Becoming something that I hate 
I would do anything to change it 
But I feel that it has become too late 

I’m slow coming to grasp the fact 
That my life will always be this way 
A depressed and lonely existence 
Until I have reached my dying day

This haunting force that consumes me
Has ruined the life that I’ve been bestowed 
Each day a daunting task I’m forced to face
14,637 days and the pain never slowed
