Deep within the ethereal darkness
I see the flaming light of reality.
It's flickering light casts eerie shadows
upon the dreary walls of my heart.
The smokey haze of it's complexity
veils the joy of my existence.
Burns away the soothing mists of
contentment within my soul, and
leaves me in a dilemma of overwhelming
proportions, washing away any vestige
of hope that I once had.
