IN THE FACE OF MADNESS

IN THE FACE OF MADNESS
I am experiencing a Job like disaster 
Everything that gave meaning to my life is gone 
Everything I've ever loved 
Everything of eternal value 
Has been dissolved.
In reality 
Life has become a burden 
Every second of consciousness 
Is a breath of despair.
Once an optimist,
Now my thoughts are bombarded 
With doom and gloom 
I am tormented in my sleep 
I am depressed when awake.
I live outside of myself 
I am in a reality of madness 
Its where I find solace 
Its where madness makes sense 
Its where faces and places 
Becomes that which I have lost.
Yet!!
I believe in spite of my insanity.
