Depth

O’ The face of darkness, I have seen

The Angel of light, I drank from

Just out here living like a fiend

There is duality in it all

I suppose I Fell victim to poison,

I am just a human, after all

I thought I had wings

Looks like I fell, deeply

I even wanted to end things for good

But I am here for the glimmers of light

they shine bright as I stood.

Never fear she says…

In the wake of each day, blank stares into the void, can’t do this anymore, I declared.

I used to find depth even in the shallow places

Save it, Keep your judgements to yourself

You’re not meant to save face

Don’t do me any favors, that’s my job

We are all faulty and blame ourselves

I think I’ll just call my losses and sob

Damn.
