In The Depth Of Despair
I am lost in knowledge of how I got here,
All I know is I am awake to this fear
And now I’m trapped in an awful place,
Looking for something to embrace.

I thought I could just climb my way out
But I’ve become filled with this doubt
On which ways up or which ways down
As my mind begins spinning all around.

I was hoping someone would hear my scream
And awake me from this nightmare of a dream
But only the caws from a crow are heard
As the rungs to my existence becomes blurred.

I hear the crackling of dried leaves
In the distance the sound carried by the breeze
I pray in fear for the faceless direction
To be led towards my darkness now my mission.

In moments of tiring hope, it's faded
My only chance of living dissipated
Time trickles fast like the sweat on me
I fight hard but, I lose, overtaken by insanity.

It seems that I won’t escape from here,
Though a shadow of light, did draw near,
For I’m afraid of what’s on the other side
As my mind is now taking me for a ride…

Thoughts are now racing through my head
That I may never awake within my bed
As this has become my resting ground
Where I’m now lost, unable to be found.

I can’t quite explain how it happened
As my thoughts are now overlapping
But fear within, allowed me to let go
Beyond limits, to where, I don’t know…

Darkness has became a friend of mine
As my life is no longer measured in time,
Instead, I’m living a life in the shadows
Measured by echos of what once arose.
