Broken Psyche



Lonely nights, vivid dreams
Coated in thick black misery.
Drowning sorrows in despair.
Trapped in my deep mental snare.
Hanging on, shutting down.
Emotional chain that drags the ground.
Endless torture, pain so deep.
Hopeless, broken, sinking sleep.
Psyche broken, internal tears.
Slipping, sinking, quicksand of fears.
Eternal struggle, shattered mind.
External facade where darkness shines.
