I speak, but no one hears, I am irrelevant
I am disturbed, but no-one cares, I am nothing
The solitude and bitterness crash over me in waves
As emptiness calls to the fractured mind like a siren
from the deep
I wallow in the mire, thoughts muddied by the never
ending deluge
Deafened by the cacophony, I seek only safe harbour
Twisted, contorted, ravaged by the brutal stabs of the
insidious tongue
Sheltering from the storm of acrimony, cowering from the
chill of the icy tongues
The paper-thin walls of my mind provide no protection to
the venom
I am unguarded.
Futile, misdirected, incomplete strands of incoherent
thought weave their path
And are caught, strangled by the web woven by the armada
of the uncaring
Floating against the tide, they flounder, sinking into
the abyss, the depths
The comfort of the deep lures me to its welcome, draws me
to its calm, to the dark
To the loneliness, to the safety net away from the never
ending ripples of angst
Venting in the shallows of humanity, I seek solace,
tranquillity, peace
Screaming in the silence, distant echoes repeat my words,
there is nothing
Inconsequential, silent, the darkness engulfs me
Crawling on bended knee to the sanctuary of solitude,
there are no caves of steel to protect me
Cowering in the darkness, fear is my only friend,
solitude my companion of choice
Shattered and splintered, the deep haven provides the
only shelter from the storm
The heartbeat in its womb the sound of comfort to a
tortured soul
Silence broken only by the rhythm of the heartbeat,
I am alone
