lost

i feel my fate in what i cannot fear.

i do not fear the end of emptiness, i do not dread the void.

i exist below the living, as i have for four years strong.

i abhor awakening, i despise the darkness, all i know is numb.

i am sick. my mind is sick, just like my father before me, and i am afraid i will know his end.

because death sounds better than self-loathing, better than emptiness, better than this bitter existence.

this illness is the only thing i know, the only constance, the only thing that's stayed.

and god, it will never end.
