Inwards
I've tried it twice but all in vain
I've seen it come but far too late
Sometimes it's easier to swallow pain as pain
Inwards
Lifeless
A bitter soul in shades
Unbroken chains
Again and again
This fear I can not hide
Inwards
It's inside
Here I go again with blinded sight
Into my universe of time
Inner higher praise of spiritual decay
Terminal state of confusion
Yes, I know, I'm hard to penetrate
I won't complain
It's my own perception
