Untitled

Defeated as I stand on the shores of my voided mind. 
Lost in the dark depths of this darkness, light impossible to find. 
Picking up the pieces, I can no longer keep myself composed. 
Cursed, it seems all good has always been opposed. 
I’m nothing but barren, misbegotten. 
Abhorrent behavior caused me to be forgotten. 
Left alone to suffer, my fate is inconsequential. 
Doom looming over, this crisis is now existential. 
Dead I stand with no will to grow. 
Behind my mask, the truth I won’t show. 
I’ve grown numb, again I’m reeling. 
Spiraling rapidly, eviscerate all feeling.  
Memories eradicated. 
Wretchedness allocated. 
Fuel to ignite a lifetime of despair.  
Contorted visions love to torment and scare. 
Weighing me down, this unbearable gravity. 
An eidolon, I’ve succumbed to insanity.
Rage festering within, battling with my own mortality. 
Deranged thoughts begin, diminishing my mentality.
Spiraling down to my end of my rope, life is dissolving. 
Lost all essence of hope, the abhorrence is absolving. 
Manifesting my own demise.
I’ve become everything I despise. 
Walking through life with no hope, no faith. 
Walking through life, all I am is a wraith.  
A ghoul, walking with nothing left to lose.  
Living a life that is the definition of a ruse.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
