I can smell the stench
It comes from within
Creeping through my veins
The darkness glisten
The pain is growing
Despair rots my brain
Feel the pounding
Boiling from the strain
Overwhelmed by day
Depressed by night
Insomnia is my friend
Everyday is a fight
Hidden in plain view
Plastered by smiles
The darkness fades
If only for awhile
Mental crashes
Ripping at my skin
The black consumes
Everything, from within
