Uncertainty


The path of steel looms
Thunder rumbles in the distance
Smog clutters the air before me
The ground quakes beneath me
Fire and earth lay ahead
Do I go, do I stay
I will be devoured
I will be devoured
There is no safe place
I cannot run
Whips of flaming lightning crack
The air before me singed
I will be devoured
It cracks and falls beneath me
The lava is all consuming
Chaos grates at my mind
Confusion, despair, loss
Am I stronger than this?
Am I good enough?
Do I have to do this alone?
I feel so alone
The spark of souls flash before me
I can see them, but not touch them
Never be one of them
Always alone, will I be always alone?
