Fading Light


I can feel it ever slipping away,

Diluting into the abyssal dark.

I only feel all that is not okay

As everything dons a new shrouding mark.

All that drowns in the depths where lives the shark,

Know the origin of those cursed jaws.

The monstrosity emerged from flaws

Perceived from the ever watching eye.

As opens wide the ever gaping maws, 

To devour all that has become “I.”

Don't let the world know your name, nor let them see your fame. Do what is right and let that be your new name. For that is what I seek and aim.
