I was having a rough morning when I wrote this. Doing better now. Writing will do that I guess.


The Darkness crashes over me as
a tidal wave of dread breaching
even the dykes so meticulously set
in place to stymie such a scourge.

I scream silently at the top of my lungs.

In my own defense, I collapse into
a fetal position, dull pressure against
my chest.  My mind recedes into an
bottomless abyss.  I’m lost in obscurity,
drowning in futility.

I scream silently at the top of my lungs.

Gasping in dire suffocation, I loathe the 
specter eagerly consuming me piece 
by piece.  No longer able to see the surface,
 I give myself up to the torrent.

I scream silently no more.
