Overruled

My dark thoughts have

returned with a vengeance

just when I thought I had

regained my independence.

They laugh at me for

being so easily fooled

into thinking that I had

the power to overrule.

They are winning

the battle for my soul

and are keeping me

prisoner in this hole,

where no one is able

to hear my screams

as they crush one by one

all of my dreams.

They will leave me

a broken empty shell

with the realisation I will

never escape this living hell.
