Is there a way out for them?

Mired in negative thinking

Being hard upon themselves

Making it difficult for others

Tension, stress, strain

Less pleasure, more pain

They have nothing to gain

Except to drown

In a sea of disdain

Their goal is too far

Life is too near

They are beyond healing

They achieve nothing

Except what they dole out

And are self destroyed

In their own destructive criticism

They know not what they do

Restless pathetic existence

May their souls rest in peace.
