Blind and Numb

Experience a life in flux, of constant change and pain
That went to hell in no time flat. Lucks smile turned to disdain
Times past are just a pleasant dream, that gives no comfort now
An awful, tearing, glimpse of joy, that hurts with love, somehow
A darkling pall spreads all around, to dim the light of hope
Enveloping, with ill intent, and hiding rescues rope
The sun does, now, refuse to shine, and darkness never ends
And though I try, I cannot see, the light just twists and bends
Fears find new life, when fed on pain, and, bloated, take control
I yearn for true insanity, this half life takes its toll
My mind cries out for pure release...a goal hard to attain
A place of numbing nothingness, a sinkhole for this pain
It seems no matter how I try to break the bonds I wear
The exit I can never find, that leads from here to there
