Useless

I find myself in a dark place now,

Somewhere with no cracks of light or open doors

...Darkness!

I am falling deeper and deeper into a transparent despair,

Nobody can see me. 

Nobody can reach me.

The self destruction button of mine you pressed to hurt me

It’s pushing me down further and further,

And you let it.

You watch it and most of all you wallow in it.

You don’t need me now.

And you won’t again.

So I am of no use to anyone due to your adolescent ways.

You succeed.

You win.

I....

I lost.
