Your thoughts are flooded by

Visions of pain

Deception holds you down to

The bitter end

A false hope subsides in you -

The growing addiction from

The journey beyond

Deny the hurt that grows

Inside of you - The rising

Affliction from the journey

Beyond

Search now through your

Shattered soul for a glimmer

Of peace

Swallowed whole by

Diffidence

The journey begins
