[bodytext] => *************************************************** I feel myself twisting...spinning...falling into this maddening descent I hear my voice screaming...echoing bouncing back at me with vengeance Nothing to stop me...nothing to grab hold of a quick glance above gives no solace Cold air rising from the fiery pit my frozen blood churning in a frenzied boil And still I fall...memories of mistakes flashing by good times taken for granted...expected Kind words never acknowledged...forgotten pain and agony fueling my rapid plunge The shaft is narrowing...compressing...clutching peeling the skin from my bones...shedding Exposing my true self...to myself as I look inside and see nothing Voices in my head...melding with my own laughter and wailing in a sweet chorus Confusion meets cohesion in a furious tumult the clamor is somehow comforting No more light from above me...extinguished my legacy dimming with every ragged breath Darkness surrounds my thoughts...consuming feeding on the bitter bleakness of my soul A sudden burst of amber...redemption denied another false hope quashed...crushed Vanquished like dreams never dreamt the sins I had yet to commit...sporadic euphoria The bottomlands beckon my arrival...enticing others there awaiting...fervid anticipation My journey expected...ordained...foretold sanity impaled on spikes of remorse And still the endless falling...reality abated apprehension and fear for amusement Feeling the tears of blind eyes wet my lips sustaining my maddening descent [comments] => 2 [counter] => 230 [topic] => 75 [informant] => crow6279 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished )
