Torment

Grief
|
I yearned, once,
For respite
From what was, to me,
A diminished, raptured world.
Life was my maze
And I a blind mouse,
Making my way
As best I could.
At each new day
I felt only pain.
I was cold and alone.
Always alone.
I struggled to find hope
Among the remains my ravaged soul,
Torn by years of denial...
Denial of the world and its ways.
And denial of myself.
Thus, I fell
Deep into the fathoms of my mind,
Neglecting the very essence
Of who I was... and who I'd become.
Driven by self-hatred,
The same hate I wielded, ignorantly,
A buckler to block out the world,
I withdrew into an existence of anger.
Now abandoned,
A singular and forsaken soul,
I, in turn, lost hope.
I lost faith in myself and the world.
I turned to what I knew,
And realized that my knowledge
No longer mattered.
What I knew was wrong.
And I was powerless.
I cried, then.
I wept for the world... I wept for me.
I yearned, then,
For respite...
Respite from myself,
Seeking a solace
Only given by the world.
A peace only found in what lies therein.
I reached out
From the chilling embrace of the darkness I created,
Placing my faith
In those around me
To come forth and rescue me...
Rescue me from myself.
And I waited.
I waited for so long a time.
I waited, but... there was nobody.
Nobody to help.
I had denied them all, thus
I was denied by them all.
Disheartened and overwhelmed
By infinite, crushing sadness,
I faced the dark,
Extending my arms.
I was stricken,
distraught,
angry,
sad,
cold...
and alone.
Always alone.
I spoke to the darkness there,
Begging for its icy touch
Upon my beaten soul.
Begging for release.
Was I to be denied even death?
Was I?
Or was I even still alive?
