Afflictions of the soul
Inherent search for panacea
Without benevolence
And much maliciousness
Inhaling vitiated air
Lungs choking on life
Deeper into the abyss
Damned by the darkness
There is no way out
For the afflicted soul
Inching everyday
Towards incurable decay
Only to be engulfed
By the darkness
Without any trace
