MAROONED IN MY MENTALITY
I sit in the room that once possessed an image
 Now it is faint and gone white
 Like the sight of a blind man
 
 I can barely see myself
 I, me, who I am
 I strain to break through the infrared, faint portrayal before me
 
 What has happened?
 I can only hear and think
 There is no one but my selfhood
 
 "Is this purgatory?" I cry out to the nothing
 How I once longed for my lonesome years ago
 And now I crave mercy
 
 I pray this rebarbative thought
 This cold feeling
 Shall never again haunt my psyche
 
 Though should it stay
 I pray... for its linger only in my memory
 And not for it to assume form of my reality
 
 I do believe it is my spiritual future
 Coming to warn me to change my ways
 But what, I ask, have I done?
 
 What have I committed for a morbid fragment like this moment?
 Am I mad?
 Or does Death approach me closer and closer?
