Darkness seeps its way inside,
Turmoil stirs up his insides.
Conveniently he evades the questions,
The ones his mind screech to him.
Rage and fear have befriended his soul.
Meanings are perceived and deceptions untold.
Left is all, that once was nothing.

Movement of bright light make his eyes cringe.
Voice of reason, he never gives in.
Resplendent are the thoughts that make him forget
of pain, mercy and help.
His jaw tightens on hearing laughter.
Joy is empty and love, false.
Left is all, that once was nothing.

Giving in.

I see myself slip into desolation.
I react, I rebel,
I realise, I was silent all along.

I rave in front of the mirror,
Hoping it would submit to my discontent.
But all it shows me is a muzzy face,
whispering words that I don't speak.

I fall deeper, I resist less.

I start a search, I stop.
I egress.
