Life

 A sheath of hopelessness hugged me little  tight 

It was starting to choke me out Struggling to know why and why 

I kept riding into the darkness just right 

The scent of sadness stayed on still

Seldom did I know how I felt so ill  

Crippling and crawling I continued to move 

Not knowing what awaited in the grove 

Longer stayed the nights, not paving its way into light 

My legs weighed heavier and heavier 

Falling back on my knees and smelling rotten leaves 

I laid still  letting go of my will.


Woken up by an urge , 

Blissfully embracing the hallowing darkness 

Slowly staring to sense the entrancing happiness 

I shut my eyes to see the world shine bright 

Fancying to return to a glorious life 

Of wanting to only see me alright 

I slipped away into  dream of being complete.
