~~~ Snake Spell Sorrow ~~~
By Angel007ang
This intense writhing shallow feeling about me,
Is torturing my body and mind you see.
Help me! I cry out into the vast void
Of darkness, this pit of fear in its ploy.
Man I want out of this place!
I scream scratching my face
Trying to escape the damage
Pain inflicted no more to manage.
Out of control that’s what happened to me,
My clear thinking escaped me, calling to be
Out of this shed body and cast my hurt upon
The rock of despair and agony …Why did I not press on?
Giving up all hope, leaving my shed soul in this
Infernal hell of consciousness, true love to miss.
No more love to permeate my being, now
Sorrow sweeping sadness still in me low.
Spiraling into this pit of doom and despair,
My agonizing sorrow lifts up to the air
About me. Forevermore it will lift
Out to the air, hatred and pain its gift.
Why, Why, Why did I not seek
Help instead, I pushed. I was so weak,
My eyes yearned for the helping touch.
But, my friends did try so much.
Losing all hope in reality, my damage
To be in this pit of torture to manage
My deep sorrow sunken heart cast low.
It severs my head just as a severe blow.
No more pain to inflict upon my mind.
Brutality and harshness to be the kind
Of plight I serve here in this empyrean
Cast hell. Its loveless dogma no longer seen.
Spiraling downward in this infested snake
Pit. Hissing about me, chills it does make
Within the very fiber being of my walls
Of sorrow upon my heart, softly it calls.
Emptiness prevailing all about me,
Why can I not seek comfort to see
The way out of this pit of hell
Cast low in this snake spell.
Ready to shed this troubled skin
New hope has arisen. Oh it’s been
A long while. Sunlight shining upon
My heart to writhe and press on.
