In the icy wastes of my mind Where the blackness freezes the soul And the screams pierce like shards of ice There I reside wrapped in morbidity Utter misery my only companion Even my own company I try to shun For I dislike, nay hate myself intensely I would if I could leave myself behind To shed this wretched skin Then fly so high into sun's bright light Where I will burst into furnace fire To burn til every last vestige has been destroyed And even the memory of me has passed away

A fantastic description of the dark side Steve. I guess this is just about as miserable as we could get.A portrait of true despair which perhaps touches us all at some time..
