Never Again

I stand here now in a dark, empty place, all alone.
when did I fall into it, I do not know
All I know is that I ignored my soul
Crying for help for so long
So oppressed, so repressed, now it has almost faded into oblivion
A body without a soul, a life without a spirit,
An empty shell I have become in this place
Bit by bit, piece by piece, my soul, my identity was drained by this dark void
While I stood there in a stupor unable to leave
Until I had (became) nothing to fight it.

No more pain, No more suffering, I am getting out of this
with all my last strength
The price to pay I am no more afraid
For it certainly cannot be worser than this hell,
this slow death, this undefined feeling, this bottomless pit.
For better or worse, I vow to escape
to escape and never ever fall into this void again
NEVER AGAIN......
