Despair
by Blackwidow

A vision of myself setting in my mind. Shadows inch slowly down the walls as their darkness enfolds my heart. I've been here for awhile now, but somehow it feels like eternity. I know this place. I created it, with my burden to hate the lovely, the happy, the fortunate, how they laugh at my despair. Now look at what I have done. I have created my own haven, my own safe place. But I'm not sure I can stay here. My pain has been so much lately, that even now, I cannot bear it. Not alone. I have no one to help my heart escape this torment in which I have brought upon myself. What have I done?

Slowly they come, to take me away. I have done all that I can. I've fought the battle that rages against my soul. My soul, my soul, how it still cries for you. You are the reason I made this place. I needed away from you and your lack of attention. Attention you so eagerly gave to another. Why must you do this to me? Release me. Break these chains that hold me to you.

Though life has seemed to go on, and no one misses me, I set here still, inside my mind. The shadows, they come still. I run from them. But I'll never make it. They have me. They have always had me. I thought that I could run from you. I thought that you would take your demons with you. Instead they haunt my soul. Never leaving me alone. I cry. Hear my plea? Make them go away. I cant stand their scream, they shout your name. They're driving me insane. You've created a monster in me. Theses shadows chasing me, they're me. I'm the one chasing myself into the endless chaos in my mind. This is what you have done to me. Do you see this?
