Fear seemed to resonate entirely,
Creeping, silently destroying mine all,
Forlorn as I gawk into the night bleakly,
‘Tis fret I can’t dare to control.
Confined by an overwhelming façade,
A deception I didn’t yearn to show,
Suddenly ensnared in this vile masquerade,
‘Tis entity I can’t seem to overthrow.
Shalt I wait for light to dawn in me?
Or shalt I surge this resilient gush?
Never knowing what this path might be,
Until I fall in an unexpected hush.
Hastily descending the trench of endless pain,
Vulnerable to even a scrap of sorrow,
Still I’m hoping for this gloom to refrain,
And for You who promised a gleaming ‘morrow.
-M.
