Torment

What is this torment
Which won’t go away
A bottomless pit
Leads me astray

This shadow
So vile
Deep in my soul
Haunting my being
Wherever I go

It seems to come
From here
Or there
But when I look
There’s nothing there

I catch a glimpse
In my reflection
A cold
Dark
Space
Of my own
Election

Trapped within
Duality
Contemplating
Morality
Or
Mortality

Might as well
Be dead
If you are
Only living
In your head

Living within
This skin
Maybe that
Is the sin
Maybe this
Is the end
