There is a darkness
that tears at the mind
like vulture's beaks,
ripping flesh from flesh
as blood drips down my hands
from fingernails clutched to my face
in a silent scream of terror
I suffer in this dark realm
as my mind sees things,
a dark demented shadow
passing in my mind's eye
hunting my soul
trying to consume what it can
wanting to leave an empty husk
with no emotion, no life
I stare into the dark void that surrounds
a surreal world filled with illusion
that are not illusion
rather the darkest pit of hell
where I'm trapped
twisted and bent
searching, hiding, seeking revenge
where insanity bubbles in my mind's cauldron
as poison is being made
to be fed to the creatures
that crawl across the belly of my soul
these maggots feasting on the flesh of my flesh
leave nothing but bone
as my bloody hands pound on the walls of my casket
where I have been buried alive
