Internal Fight

 I smile out to the universe, and keep my cards close to my chest

To shrivel away I’m not averse, and hide away my soul’s unrest

I watch the world descend in doom, from the confinement of my room

A prisoner of my own gloom, my spirit decays in the tomb


I am afraid of my demise, when I inevitably die

Cross the threshold of worlds, my eyes shall feast upon what yonder lies

I fear the eyes of all before, observe my sins in sheer horror

Urge a change of paths, they implore, I feel in the depths of my core


Yet still I battle to ignite, the fire the burns inside so bright

Those stood around can see the light, but I stay blind, obscure my sight

With sinful entities that all converge to taint my own insight

To what is deep, for after all my power breathes through what I write
