the wading waters

ive felt it all and i have felt nothing,

ive watched the darkness rise out of shadows and swallowed me,

ive heard the whispers and taunts resultant of your tyrany.

ive begged and ive thrashed for release of those chains,

ive tried to be better, be different, my blood closer to your veins.

ive tried to rewrite my biology to change the chemical reactions.

i fought my heart and soul and tried every retraction.

but the darkness it swallows me hole evading every stream of light,

it suffocates my souls, and barricades me within my mind.

im tired of fighting and begging and trying,

im tired of smiling, and tired of crying,

my desipated soul, it is dying...

i know not what else to do. who else to call. how else to fight,

ive been running my whole life from shadows, chasing light.

but in the end it consumes me, devours the last fickle hopes.

chaining me down, weary from metal made ropes.

i feel myself fading out, my thoughts disperse and my air runs thin,

wading out in waters of depths my body will sink within.
