Umbra

When the monsters encroached,

And madness seized.

The pain was the only thing to keep me sane. 

And yet, I wondered

Was it really worth it all?

The chaos in my brain, 

The fright of facing the next day. 

Oh, it was too easy to descend. 

But, it desired more.

Its ravenous appetite lay in wait.

The spectacle soon to begin, 

The pain was my only friend.

It stuck out till the end.

As the blood seeped through my eyes-

The numbness, sufficed.
