rage and pain
frustration absolute
know your poison
but keep on.
shoveling gaping maw
full to overflowing
undertow snaps and sinks in
kick at internal hands
dragging down
slow descent into
oubliette.
melancholy lull washes over
tides of duldrum
lap, lap, lapping away.
phase out.
gray matter dusty
withered and wrinkled
what once sprung to life.
cycles repeating
defeat
or just set back
only tell the time.
tax on happiness
with worsens without.
zombie daze
rummaging for remembrance
past life regression
no death inbetween
transformation into pupae
