Dark waves
Crushing my fragile soul
Tired and weary
My soul begs
For peace and rest
But my mind is not mine
It laughs at the request
Giggling at the absurdity
It whispers commands
To an arm
That I no longer control
My soul screams in anguish
At the knife cuts a piece away
More and more it carves
Carving and slicing
Until there is no more
Until my soul
Lays in the ground
Dead
