Departing from despondency.
Silence taking its toll.
Cold surrounding my soul.
Serving flawed masters, pulling my strings.
Word unfeeling, trashing my role.
Father can you hear me.
Mother not near.
Emptiness promising salvation vague and unclear.
Don’t come close.
Flee, get away.
Voices torture haunting my future.
No tomorrow, no today
Holding.
Restraining.
Limiting.
Let me go.
Killing sunsets on repeated failure.
Easy quitting no longer an option.
Fire raging inside.
Desperation pushing me
Clinging to old comforts.
Chipping at hurtful foundations.
Clipping the strings.
Can’t rely any longer on them to hide.
Answers piercing with sharp barbs.
Darkness whispering strangling enticing dirges.
Tired fading rest sounds sweet.
End falling near.
