Dark Inside or a Little About Ashes

"Dead inside" implies you were once alive. I wasn't. Like the usual miserable childhood, a dull youth, a half-baked maturity. Prometheus's torch is systematically burning away my soul and personal history. Well, I didn't experience any great love or great upheavals that destroyed everything. Rather, my wings were clipped at every stage, weighed down by soul-destroying activities. "Dark inside" is a kind of background depressive ash in the place of a living soul, which continues to act and achieve its goals despite never having experienced a powerful prime in my life.
