Sadness

Sorrow overcomes me like the darkest of clouds.

Anger closing in for the kill.

Death in its purest form, becomes the scene of my nightmares.

Nothing can compare to this utmost horror.

Everything disappears into the thick blanket of grey smoke.

Something sinister lurks around me at night.

Slowly, silent suffering becomes my life.
