I find no peace in sleep <br />No refuge in drink <br />Down into darkness I seem to sink <br /> <br />Days are endless <br />Nights are long <br />On my lips there is no song <br /> <br />I pace the floor for hours on end <br />My nerves are shattered <br />My patience thin <br /> <br />My mind is in a turmoil <br />I can't settle down <br />I try to smile yet instead I frown <br /> <br />I feel caught in a webb <br />Of misery never ending <br />As though life has left me <br />And I am descending into a hell <br />Far worse than that promised all sinners.<br /><br />Dorothy (Alves) Holmes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/descending-into-hell/
