Withering Ressurection
Shadowy fingers of black work to stain the fading horizon.
My story is etched in the sky,
Starting a new chapter in the darkness,
And my soul is revived from it's slumber.
Though the grave has a grip,
Still my soul fights to the surface,
Reaching and screeching, and writhing.
So now I tell you this constant struggle,
This parched desert and pointless strife,
It holds nothing for me
But endless agony.
So why have I been chained
To this place where I endure such misery?
Where I seem to be in endless trouble?
Let me be free from this evil abyss,
And let scary take refuge elsewhere.
But no, here I am,
A victim of gravity
Moping around this dear planet.
But wait an idea! The wind pulls at my hair.
It led me to the ledge, and I jumped, yes I did,
I jumped just for me, and I know that I won't be missed!
