Vacancy

All of this occurs in my head
Though I feel it in my soul
Burning, yearning, contorting!
It is unrelenting.
Proof? Neigh, it is not external
There is nothing to verify me
It is all within
In the depths
The depths of me
Come inside, and I will drown you!
And you will die.
Surely, you are not wretched as me!
For if you were, you would be a serpent
A repulsive, detestable being!
And you would swallow me whole
And I would be FREE!
