I'm sinking ever further into this cold abyss
So deeply I can't see the light
I try to climb but the walls are smooth
Escape isn't in my sight

How has my life come to this
When so recently I was content?
Why do I deserve this hell?
My dues have already been spent.

I feel more alone than ever before
My future plans stripped away.
Tired of words with no real meaning
There are always agendas at play.
