Noxious Fumes
Despondency shrouds my mind
thoughts possess like demonic creatures
clutching at my life and scratching out my eyes
Murky wisps like noxious fumes
become a suffocating mass
and paralyse me
I’m supine in my acquiescence
adrift in the gloom
floating on a sea of despair
I am in stasis suspended by eternity
but sunlight trickles in between the gaps
between the doors and window frames
Gradually it becomes a new and brighter day
dim light held at bay, waiting to assault it's prey
