Rated: E · Poetry · Emotional · #1131921

An attempt to capture an emotion felt by many


Darkness enshrouding;
Emptiness encroaching;
Leave me in my pity.
Let me wallow,
In this dank pit of despair
Taking over my thoughts.

Don't attempt to reach me.
I want left here alone.
You see a tortured soul.
I am one looking to escape.
Leave me.
Let me stay.
Help!
