The night settles over my darkened eyes
My mind an ocean of unending storms
I am lost, broken
Agony is not the home for my sunken heart
Yet peace cannot be found in this wavering world of war and devastation.

 

The dark grows blacker against my maddening thoughts
Dreams of a bright day appear smaller, distant
I am floating, falling
Deep into the pits of eternal damnation
My soul cannot withstand the seductive sound of sorrow and suffering.

 

A new day dawns as ever, as always
The gift of life thrust upon my heavy shoulders
I will win, I will rise!
But the sky is not blue and the birds will not sing
Luck is little in this idle life of love and longing

 

As dusk arrives with my journey’s end
I look back towards the path I chose
I am dead.
Accepting the truth of my final form I realise
The power to change was always within me.
