From deep within the void I cry out
The blackness swallows my words
The flame is extinguished
As soon as it is issued forth
There remains no outlet for my pain
My grief is bottled inside me
The blackness of my soul resides
It pollutes the whole of my being
I am the prisoner of this fullness
The unending glut of my emotions
Trudging in the mire of my suffering
The subsequent demise of my hope
Who can hear my cries
When I cannot hear myself
Who can reach inside
When I cannot reach out
Who will feel what is untouchable
Who will hear what is unspeakable
Who will know what is unknowable
Who will see into this darkness
I am lost and alone
I am adrift
In the farthest reaches
Of my mind
I am in the void
The void is in me
I have become
The void
