Drowning in the River of Acheron


"Motivation
and,
Inspiration,
surreptitiously supplanted by,
desperation
and,
suicidal
ideation.
If potential,
is so sadly
squandered,
why should I
carry, 
carry onward?
'Stop!'
'Talk!'
Say you.
But would it not,
certainly serve
you
alot,
if I cut the silk,
so seductively
restricting me,
to this torment
termed terrene
paradise.
Slit the silk,
that binds
my torture,
ferry me
away
to Hades,
my home."

The River Acheron is a significant river in Greece, and was called 'The River of Pain and Suffering" in Greek Mythology. When someone died in Ancient Greece, they would have a gold coin put into their mouth. This was so that they could pay Charon to Ferry them across Acheron to Hades, if they couldn't pay, they would wander the shores of Acheron for eternity.
