Lamentation"

I am pulled by the current,  

Ripped apart at every turn,  

A ragdoll washed under the rain -  

Could I ever escape this pain? 

My tears fall like acid rain,  

Melting away all that remains,  

Sinking into the depths of my soul -  

Is there no escape from this toll? 

The darkness consumes me whole,  

As I writhe and twist on this pole,  

My body straining under the strain -  

Will I ever find peace again? 

In agonizing despair,  

I scream into the empty air,  

Searching for some release -  

But all I find is endless grief. 

Oh, how I long to be free,  

From this unending misery,  

To flee this world and all its pain -  

If only I could break this chain. 

But yet I know deep in my heart,  

That I will never truly depart,  

For these demons are my own -  

And I shall forever carry them home.
