Vices

I can't shed this feeling
The weight of the world is too much
For one to handle on his own
Just watching himself
Damned to the end of his own life
Because these vices lightens everything
His body, his mind and his soul

But will it ever be enough?
Or will it be too much?
Because it slowly consumes him whole
Until he can't find his own soul

Losing himself in the things that he loves
Stuck in his own world
Unravelling things he never knew existed
Or things he never knew he could achieve

He puts his hand out, reaching for help
But instead, he feels a cold blanket hugging him
And his sight goes dim
His breath shortens and heartbeat softens
The life he once knew he lived
Has finally left with peace

And as the clock ticks on
He feels his life taken away
So slowly, so painfully
And silent screams was all he could afford to do
Grasping onto his dear life
Not knowing what comes after
Leaving everything and everyone
As the reaper rips what he sewed
