The Unexpected

Living is another way the devil keeps ahold of me
on every line of this page, I sink deeper into 
vast open spaces
Empty, lies my minds blankness
 
In every word I express
sounds another voice, depressed

Help me in my slumber
eating away my breathe
let mercy have me
let this bring me closer to death.

Beautifully written - but very sad that these thoughts might oppress you - Liz
