Mental Fog

This bedlam! The sinkhole atop my corpse! 
Derelict; God too refused to Love me!
Hope becoming less. Dying as it warps.
Despair; that too seems to be above me.

Lost between fringes of my psychosis.
Remnants of a beautiful shattered mind.
Every fragment seely upon notice.
My struggle with the self that I can’t find.

My chaperone of double mindedness 
leads the way; trending along a bevel.
Hopes leverage against death’s entry test 
despite being designed by the devil.

Resolution lost within dialogue.
My illusion diagnosed: Mental Fog.
