Analysis of Consumed



All encompassing – eaten alive
Blackness despair can’t breathe
Tears, oh the tears
My chest it hurts it tightens it struggles
No clue it would be like this
Where did the escape go, the freedom
The hope, the joy: there’s only despair
If I’d know it would be like this
Would I have gone ahead anyway?
Scared, consumed with grief
Sadness, tears, pain, fear, hurt
So much negative where is the positive
Is that all there is
Will there be more
When will it lesson
When will the hurt go away
When will the freedom come
Where is the light
Consumed by darkness
When will it end
CONSUMED
