I stepped into the dark and nearly as soon as I did I lost myself,
The feeling of my insecurities and fears overwhelmed me,
Like foul imps they poked and prodded me,
Pulling at the fabric of my mind trying to find the one linchpin holding me together,
There was no reprieve from this torment,
Days blended together,
Psychosis took my mind,
My soul shattered into fragments forever lost in that forsaken abyss,
Yet I found others,
They could not guide me,
But there was comfort in camaraderie,
Some managed to leave becoming stars in that bleak sky,
And with that I found purpose,
My damnation may be eternal,
Yet I can still raise others into that sky,
Regardless of my own incarceration within this place,
So I remain here as a guide,
To shoulder the burden of torment for others,
So their load may be lightened enough to ascend.
