Purgatory's Light

Trapped in purgatory’s light
Can’t stop, or continue to fight
Like a daemons’ dog chasing its tail,
Another groundhog’s day on the doorsteps of hell

Machines monitor my status
Trapped in a coffin of invisible lattice
I’m coma bound, trapped, as my world goes round
In disparity, I slowly drown

The stench of hell
Muted, I cannot yell
Can’t keep the demons at bay
Heavens so very far away.

God please hear the peoples prayers
Didn’t take time to simply breathe the air
Being consumed by the darkest of death
Staving it off with every last breath

My memories distorted
My mind contorted
Into something I can’t control
Losing my abilities
Far from tranquility
Reaching the point where I’d sell my soul

Two simultaneous realities, battling in my mind
Hellishly intertwined
Isolation, loneliness, growing anxiety
Why can’t they see

I watch helplessly, as my family dies
Unaware that they’re just mental lies
Not sure how I got here
Just overwhelming fear

My memories I cannot keep
Losing control, inside I weep
Every moment, overwhelming strife
Pray the doctors just end my life
