Misery’s Misty Mirage
An injection of misery Black poison in my soul Dragged my optimism Into a wretched hole Fed me sadness Stole sweet joys from my mouth Hung grey bags of misery To pin me to the ground A misty mirage To show me lies Replaying dark memories In my mind But a side effect It never… Continue reading
