Caught in this pit
I cannot get out
Locked in this prison
Of my own accord.
Despair draped heavily over me
I want to cry out for somebody
But there would be no answer
For I sit alone here in this pit
This pit of decay.
In the darkness of my prison
I am consumed by a feeling
This madness threatens me.
Why will this not end?
Light from above creeps down
Littering the darkness here
With specks of brilliance
A contrast that exasperates.
The world is out there
While I am down here
Rotting away in this prison
This pit of decay.
While I write this,
My body rots
My mind corrodes.
Down there,
All the way
Down here,
In this pit of decay.
