I scream as the darkness unhinges me
Petrifies me
Stupefies me
To the love and the beauty I lack
I cry as the blackness creates me
Defines me
Entwines me
Wrapped in its inviting thorny crown
I shout as the nothing deceives me
Captures me
Enraptures me
From the truth I should live
I shriek as the empty attacks me
Invades me
Pervades me
Sedating my heart and my soul
I sing as the void comforts me
Accepting me
Protecting me
From the evil my world has become
