Like Poison for the Soul

So my path is chosen

No more false affinity

The time has come to leave

Your worth are the equivalent of a dead insect to me

Indifference be my name

All hope forever lost

No redemption in this place

I cut your presence away

The outcome of your burdens

Are no longer mine to face

I shun your kind and leave you all behind

To gain some peace of mind

Man is an island

This is what I believe

The absence of other humans

Is what I truly need

So I gradually turn inwards

Treading paths unknown

Through catatonic caverns

A haven I can call my own

So I am going deeper

Down into my own world

Where I can be alone

And your voices go unheard

I can't stand them no more

You're like poison for my soul

I was trapped within a nightmare

My life felt like a lie

Like drowning in plain sight

Your voices overwhelm me

In a cacophonic drone

My cup hath runneth over

A yearning for the silence

And the grace of solitude

Far from this worthless place

So the time has come to exit

To finally fade away

To find reprieve in an unresponsive state

I am going deeper

Down into my own world

Where I can be alone

And your voices go unheard

I can't stand them no more

You're like poison for my soul
