The Torment Within

Fear looms his dark head over mine I take cover behind my consciousness, only to buy time I look around my oh-so-familiar world But It seems to be filled with tales untold Making me feel like a stranger among my own kin Being punished for some long forgotten sin I look for a respite, there has to be a way out But the sound of my tears falling, drowns out my shout Searching for aa shoulder to cry on I stumble and fall, but still I look on The smiles I remember have turned into frowns Turning my honey coloured world into a gloomy brown I try to run, but theres nowhere to hide And suddenly I feel Fear sitting by my side Cupping my ears, I scream for help But what comes out of my lips is barely a yelp I am confused, depressed, there is many a doubt Maybe the Fear beside me is not without It is within me, filling my entire being Suffocating me from inside… I struggle hard, I try to break free But Darkness overpowers me… But Darkness overpowers me…
