Overwhelmed

Tides do rise
And mountains fall
The sun mutters lies
And the ocean calls
To drown me down
Into abyss
Where I am found
In raging bliss

Shining red
Those bleeding jaws
Beckon me
To boundless halls
Of blackened strife
And sorrowed lakes
Where into night
The darkness takes
A torch to soul
A blizzard to heart
Burn me whole
Whisk me apart

I am drained
I am given
These thoughts so pained
This seething livid
What do I feel
And how do I know
When to kneel
And where to go

Break your bind
Let me be
Ease my mind
Just set me free

Dear, emotion
I plead with you
With blinding notion
Just let me through
To light and hope
To peace and sun
For once I dote
That you are done

Oh, sun which lied
I wish I knew
In my mind
It was always you
Who bestowed good
And positivity
And though you could
Have set me free
I am trapped with you
For eternity
