Besieged by a monster
that won't fade or die
I live my life with thoughts each day
of a past I cannot deny
Engulfed in a pool of emotion
of anger, hate and disgust
throughout the future lies a path
of forever broken trust
In the depths of my despair
I feel completely at ease
the troubles that surround me
seem to linger like disease
Here in the dark waters
only I can comfort my soul
linger in the embers of sorrow
attempting to make my life whole.
