Echoes voices
For years I have been trapped.
In the abyss of unfathomable darkness.
These echoed voices are the food
That feeds my temptations.
These voices are like shackles.
They bind together my pain and pleasure.
They constantly call my name
From deep within the shadows.
From deep within the shadows,
You shall find lustful desires.
Libidinous fire that slowly
Combusts the soul of man.
I’ve drank from the well of these desires
Though it never quenches my thirst
I have become a slave to these demons
My weakness has becomes their strength
My sorrow has become their joy.
But even in this endless shadow,
A spark of light shall bloom.
A voice not from the shadows’ depth,
But from the strength I thought was lost.
I have stumbled, I have bled,
But I will not bow to these chains.
For every fall, I rise again,
For every wound, a lesson gained.
No longer shall I feed these demons,
No longer shall I quench their thirst.
I walk away, though slow, though weak
Each step a war, each step my victory.
