Dark Existence

Dark skies, dark abyss.

Only darkness exists.

Eyes Open, Eyes Shut,

I still see it.

I'm lost here.

Is there even a glimmer of hope?

Will I be swallowed, will I survive?

Favour serves who favour gives.

Alone, I'm forced to fight,

The pain stays through the night.

Infinite flight.

The absence of light.

A struggle for truth,

Who will win?

Lonely's here and it's obsessed with me.

Its hold is tight,

Numbing and paralyzing my soul.

Silence is it's twin and they dance,

Making circles in my tears with their feet.

No pita pata,

They move and I can only feel.

Hidden springs burst forth.

Memoirs of failures,

Disappointments, travel down my cheeks

Leaving gloom streaks.

I'll find my way out.

Someday.

And when I do

I'll smile.

Smile my way out of this dark existence.
