Darkness Invades

Darkness invades.

Long, windy roads
Surface dreary memories.

Time brings about
More aspects of life
To Lament.

Lamentations give birth
To yet another reason
For feeling void
And useless.

Uselessness leads
To a neverending cycle
Of more falling esteem,
And feelings of inadequacy,
Which further taint the soul.

A tainted soul infects
Every angle in the field of view
Of a depressed and sinking mind,
Which has already lost grip on any aspirations,
Only to step further into the drowning pools of Disappointment.
