My Sea of Darkness

Tortured
Hated
Disappointed
What do they have in common?
They are emotions
That have installed themselves
Within my soul.
Like a virus
Never to leave.
Only to linger for eternity.
Resisting is futile.
Therefore I must dwell
In this sea of darkness
While my flesh
Is torn away
By the claws of despair.
Until nothing is left
But a sad excuse for a human.
Waiting to die,
Because it is the only escape
I have.
