Seeping Dread

Seeping dread,
Sad  and tattered,
In the back of my head,
Feeling like the mad hatter,

No one knows,
But they’re quick guess,
I don’t care,
They don’t know me best,

Leave me be,
I beg you,
Please,

Solitude’s most easy,
Yet so depressing,

Seeping dread,
To wish for death,
No a way to live,
I have nothing to give,

What is your intentions,
Don’t search for perfections,
For they are not found in me,
Please,
I beg you,
Leave me be,

Seeping dread,
I am the monster under my bed,
Lost in a hole,
Indirection taking it’s toll,

Please, 
Release me,
From this seeping dread.
