Falling into a dark abyss,
Ugly thoughts run through your mind.
Light left you a millenia ago,
Lost its purpose entirely.
You know what's coming next, of course.

Anything could be real in this hole,
Lucifer, unicorns, magic; all supposed myths.
If you survive, what can you do? A
Vast ocean could be waiting for you at the bottom.
Even though you could die at any moment, right now you're fully alive.
Literally whatevr

Even though you could die at any moment, right now you're fully alive.like this too


on the whole it's very good, well thought out :)
Another convicted serial killer is reported to have found God. Which may be great for the serial killer, but we’ve yet to hear what God thinks about it

At first I wasn't sure what I thought of this poem until I reached the second stanza. The last line made it make perfect sense. The only problem I had with this poem was the movement of the first stanza. You start with "falling" as your verb, and in the next sentence you use the less-active "run." Okay, okay, "run" is active, but the word running seems more active, imagery-wise.

So I'd say go for:

Falling into a dark abyss,
Ugly thoughts running through your mind.

Overall, very nice. Each time I read it I find these new messages hidden between the lines and woven between the words, and it's not even a long poem. You deserve a pat on the back for this one.
