Darkness swarms over him,
Like a blanket to shield him,
Cover him from the pain of this world,
That devours us one by one,
No one can hide,
It will eventually kill us all,
He sits in terror,
Awaiting his turn to face reality,
With no weapon or shield,
Thrown in head first,
He’s just one more loss,
It doesn’t hurt as much now,
Because he’s so numb,
Just a lost soul,
Wandering from one high to another,
Never finding a cure,
To this vile plague,
That’s infected us all with insanity,
And now our asylum is overflowing.
