Abyss

Darkness, deafening silence, mockery
They are but superficial reasons to grieve
For nothing’s more tormenting than living a life like this
Regimented yet sinful, hell, miserable.


A bottle of this, a moment of that, and summed seconds of those thoughts
They gradually threw me to a boundless grave
Where death is impossible but felt excruciatingly
Souls’ wales, never-ending; Hades’s grin, cuts ceaselessly.

Who would have thought
I lurk in this imperceptible, immense realm of sinners?
A place I never thought I’d dwell unto
For being a kid I knew I would despise being here.


But grownups are bigger fools than tots
Young minds elude from what they know is perilous
While ripened brains willingly fall into earthly desires
And when got there and realized, still obstinately unyielding



Is this a domicile for fools, a lair for senseless eating minds?
No pricey tab to get here, no tough foe to fight
Flesh-satisfying deeds, soul incarcerating feats
These embraced me in this warren of misery.



So happened I preferred to flee
Even repentance didn’t let me so
I must have felt sorry beforehand
Before willingly submitting myself to this den of agony.

Medusa’s eyes were stronger than my will
Had let my soul explore her flesh
Ate the tempting fruit of discoveries
So now immured in this behemoth abyss.
