SCARS

          Sadness envelops
                        My heart and soul
                        Keeping me confined
                        Choices taking their toll.

Freedom seems so far away
Melting into an abyss of emptiness.
Bloody parts and organs dying
Not coping well with all of the stress

                        Something grips me, leaving me cripple.
                        Tortured by my own worst enemy, myself
                        Too late for the past, so tainted
                        Unforgiven, unwanted,
                        enough tears to fill the well.

Never enough, never okay
Seeking revenge, but not today.
Isolated and alone, mortified
The wrongs I’ve done, now need to pay.

                        Frozen in fear of loss
                        My heart is protected with walls
                        Unwilling to trust another
                        Hemmed within myself, death now calls.

Depression eating me alive
Like a serpent that devours
My time is running out
These are my final hours.

                        The cycle starts anew
                        A million nails through my flesh
                        The misery and pain endure
                        Now I can only guess.

Clouded judgement causing scars
Leaving me utterly alone again
The past becoming the present
               Going back to the sickness  
                   that has
                      always
                                      .....been
