Divergence into the depths
Of systematic suffering,
Is the torment we endure
Due to the harbinger of doom,
That we seem to labour under
When life is not going well,
Dragging us downward
In a spiralling sinful hell,
Created within our own minds
When clear consciousness fails,
We see the very worse in ourselves
All that led is cries and wails,
And it seems beyond all reason
That we can’t find a way to prevail,
Yet light and hope are never
Quite that far away,
So be prudent and be alert
Before that ship sets sail,
And leaves you lost and forlorn
In your self created tormented jail.
