Have you ever gone deeper-
deep enough
that all those whispers
in your mind
deafened you?
Have you burned out
tragedies and failure
for the sake of
something stronger?
Have you sat and wondered,
searching
for something
immutable, stable,
and boring?
Is life really made
of compromises,
and existence itself
a tug-of-war
in darkness and light?
Shadows waver, but
the dark overpowers.
The eyes don't have it,
and neither do I.
