I look into a dark void

shadows surround me,

grasp me into their winding fingers

pulling me in by my hands,

accelerating.

Is the light at the end of the tunnel real?

 

Dark noises from naysayers fly by 

they never existed,

I believe into a new era of becoming

finally one with myself,

invigorating.

Is this hunger in my mind surreal?

 

Dark hymns blind me with their unnatural light

I forget it all,

I burn with the sensation of beginning

a new tide has come,

eradicating.

Are my eyes fin'ly seeing ideals?

 

I remember all of the dark times in my past,

I smile wide,

Grinning, grimacing at the way things were,

I am someone new,

my pores are blazing,

Can I finally wake up?
