Drown in darkness
My body falls to the depths
Darkness has engraved my mind
Blurred visions…
My hands grasp for solutions
Gagged for air…
Deeper below I sink
Pressure on my lungs
As the water fills my mouth
Writhing as the liquid chokes
Unheard cries, darkest depths
Waters rage above…
While below I suffocate
The terror of slowly drowning
My screams remain unheard…
I lie in a watery grave
Is it too much to ask to be saved?
Now my body’s drained of life
Rise to the surface motionless
Paler than white, mind’s lost sense
Thrown upon the distant shore
After submerged life is no more
Dragged to the darkness
Breathless and silent
Gloomy shores I lie… Die …
Internal Torment
My body falls to the depths
Trapped in my shell
Sanity’s locked inside
Can’t express my feelings
The pain I must hide
My body’s possessed
By an unseen force
Crippled for life
As I try to speak my voice
No future, an obscenity
Why was I chosen to suffer?
Hoping I wake up and the curse
Has left my soul
Attempts at speech are drowned in laughter
I writhe and grit my teeth in anger… Why?
Not allowed to make decisions
If only I could tell them all I can think…
In my afterlife I’ll rise again
Destroy all the ones who laughed
Kill them all
Able to think, flex my limbs
Talk and socialise, live my life
Morbid existence
We live in fear, fear of death
Soon we may breathe our last breath
Acid rain pollutes our lands
Chemical pollution, our lives out of hand
Poisonous gas, vapourised scum
Cancerous victims, a rising sun
Our homes are slowly decaying
Lands gone, replaces by deathchambers
Life is a bad dream, can’t I wake up
Free from this Hell, torment and grief
Die…
Turning my face towards the sky,
Thunder clouds form rain, fills my eyes
Falls to the earth, destroying our lives
Our sources destroyed…
Industry survives…
