secrets

There was once a time

I wanted to die

Quick was progression

A deep dark descent

Met by depression

Gloomy and silent

Snaked the unlit path

Overriding will

Extinguishing wrath

Gone was a purpose

I could stand it no more

Unable to weather

The silent roar

Destiny and death

Laughed from somewhere near

Slithering louder

Loud for all to hear

As the fortress walls

Crumbled from within

In the end I was spared

Ascending back to light

Escaping at last

From a starless night

No other soul knew

Inside I was alone

Finding dawn after dusk

Mind hollow as bone
