Journey to Soul's Bottom
Once you have awoken it,
The beast no longer sleeps.
It feasts upon your very soul.
What secret vows it keeps.
Babies birthed into its grasp,
Stare with solemn eyes.
Knowing only shame and guilt,
Quick is their demise.
Family bonds are fractured,
Children's cries, unheard.
Truth is unrecognizable.
Life is such a blur.
The path, once light, is darker.
Each breath brings forth a test.
Bleary eyed you travel on.
The beast is on a quest.
Consuming your ambitions,
Replacing them with pain.
Your emotions now are tempered.
Your mind, now its domain
Promises quick to wither.
Sometimes, forever doomed.
Thoughts become a mangled mess,
Where evil spirits loom.
Many lives it does devour,
Trading drugs for souls.
Its hunger grows with each new day.
Addiction takes its toll.
