SWAMP OF MY MIND

Trudging through,
The swamp of my mind,
My few pleasant memories,
Are lost and hard to find.
 
Stagnant pools,
Poisoned with pain,
Within their reflection,
Is my innermost Cain.
 
Rotted vegetation,
Of shattered dreams,
Slowing my feet,
As my drowning soul screams.
 
This is the wilderness,
That exists inside me,
It’s waters consuming,
Destroying my Life tree.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

some may think the use of Cain does not fit where it does but what it's explaining is the outcast within...my swallowed pain and anger
