Spiralling

A tormented mind,
Darkness sets in and takes hold;
Depths of souls call out ~
No one takes note
Of a loner...

What has befallen those
Who seek to harm others
From feeling pain and loneliness?
They sink further
Into despair...

Weaving tortured thoughts
Together with remnants of reality,
The blackness wins ~
There is nothing left but to
Lash out...

But why don’t we see them,
How are we so blind
To not notice or not care,
Letting them spiral
Into despair?
