Is there anything left to remember? Is there anyone else to answer my call? In a world of emptiness and misery All that greets me is my defunct mind. I cannot run, Nor can I hide When the demons from which I must escape Are waiting for me inside. And therein is the dilemma; What is truly the lesser of the two evils? Booming malevolence? Or deafening silence? I only wish for a middle ground. Maybe there could be in a perfect world. But that is where reality ends And my idealism begins. Because this is not a perfect world. This is the fractured reality That is my personal Hell.
