My Demons

entry picture

What happened to me, I'm a broken man.
I've come to this place, with my final plan.
With much greater things I need to find.
If it all ends today, will anyone even mind?

The World has now turned its back on me.
It has nothing to offer, for forgiveness I plea.
The clues where there, on deaf ears they fell.
I was coming apart, but nobody could tell.

Today in my loneliness, I'm dealt a new blow.
The good times seem distant, it's time to go.
A tortured soul I have now slowly become.
It's too late to be saved my demons have won.
