stumbling through the vicious night
with myriad hurdles on my path
impaired by the diminished sight
combatting loneliness and wrath

the wheel of life spins uncontrolled
its perils coming all too near
the chilling facts as they unfold
now fill my heart with massive fear

is this the place where i belong?
the ghastly fate that i have earned?
whatever choice i made was wrong
a lesson that was sorely learned

my inner voice is screaming loud
my life force will soon be deplete
please take away this painful shroud
and save me from this dead end street
