Slough of Despond
By MGood
Black spiders in my web,
Feeding on my pride,
Take my blood, rather.
Misdirected rivers run far, decidedly.
While wishes float,
Fears are sinking.
Seeking a hell.
Morning lies.
In water so cold it seems burning.
Running dark circles 'round mine,
When flames remind me I'm frozen.
Hatred posted
And I'm screaming with a smile.
Pushing well-enough on myself,
As evil flickers in these eyes.
