__My Dark Struggle, My Dark Night__
A pitch black sky-
with deep secrets unknown
to those who have no reason to see.
For to them, this is nothing but a night;
so vague, so careless and wasteful.
Lacking air and light-
of which these soulless people praise,
and hold to such a high esteem.
The endless sky-
to no beginning and no end;
of which its cries are light and soft,
as they fall on its adoring children
to whom it does't cry for.
And how some do not understand,
how only a few can truly know-
the silent gifts of comfort.
How the empty minds of people
strive to create and learn.
But to learn and know is not possible,
for its vastness lives on forever-
and forever will it slip away.
Away from our minds,
until the darkness does't take it.
Close your minds and sense its peace.

There I escaped my father's snarls

Struggling with my life and who I'm supposed to be
wondering why these things only happen, to me
