What do you think this poem is about?

Rest In Peace

A soul dies ever night
Lost in a wake of dread
That is embedded in your mind

You cannot breathe
In a normal life

You cannot see
What others see

All you see is misery
You are blinded

You no longer see
The colours of life

You no longer see
The ordinary things in life

You live in fear
And constant pain

It just consumes
Your soul, your life

Please I beg of thee
Let this soul
Now rest in peace

    Stark poem of sadness, depression and fear.
    A truthful cleansing write.
    Good work.
