Inside Myself

 

Far path to roam - lost to fall of night,
eyes searching blindly - as the pitch surrounds
Disposed to wander - in depths of one's mind,
through darkened way's woe - the dolor abounds

 

Chasm's bleak trappings - firmly taking hold,
fated, the unsound - dire haunting inside
Voiceless sired whispers - illusions with speak,
phantoms come wakened - droning incessant chide

 

To all whereabouts - waits plaguing umbra,
echoing its longing - morose wails from soul
Grieving that beckons - with infinite tears,
always time to cry - takes the misery's toll

 

Not a hope to dream - life just passing by,
dread for the 'morrow - memories on hold
Depression that binds - nowhere else to go,
death inside myself - in a grave so cold
