I.Am.broken
There lies deep inside me an affliction, a venom as wicked and cruel as any blade,
it lies in wait, like a predacious creature, waiting for my psyche to gain in confidence, in happiness, in hope, in determination, and when its prey is truly unguarded does it strike, devouring my will, swallowing the light in my eyes and claiming all foraged hope.
What is left is truly something pitiful and wretched, no longer a man, I become a shadow living in a world of lights, feasting on the very walls of confidence that I had so hard tried to build. Brick by brick, piece by piece, bloodied hands numbed by pain pull the remnants of my mental walls, letting the shadows around me in, my preservation, like a sieve, pools into the abyss, a droplet of light consumed by a sea of darkness.
