Rotting beneath collapsed memories

empty moments that'll never be lived again

a dim light provides me comfort

in this solitude that I remain within

ensnared by the clutches of depression

engulfed in a brief moment of desperation

unable to reach fulfilment

unable to forget...

it's now time for me to realise

nothing will ever be the same

nothing will ever change

this is what life has come to

rotting away, secluded in this pit of despair

nobody is coming to help

no one can save me

after all these years

I still question it all the time

did I really deserve it?

the sexual abuse engraved in my memory

spitting out flashbacks and panic attacks

and now I find myself caged

in the jaws of solitude...
