The world seems dark and engulfing
The light and waning and dying
The fear rising and rising
As hope is falling and falling
The will to continue is nowhere to be seen
As eyes flutter from scene to scene
With tears gleaming down from cheek to floor
As you witness it getting more and more
Terrifying and harmful to your sanity
As you try to shield your senses from this profanity
With no semblance of reality or time
And an inability to tell lemon from lime
You retreat into a fortress of solitude
Hiding from the world with no longitude or latitude
Until you notice a little voice inside your head
That in a comforting voice every night before bed
Tells you to carry on through all of the trials
And to bat away surrender with an unwavering denial
For we all know that in the end
When we finally realize what is around the bend
That everything will fall into place
When we cross the finish line of this long race
And collapse in exhaustion from the rising pace
And you finally find your eternal peace
All of the troubles will take on the least
Amount of priority compared to all the other memories you have to share
