My thoughts, sinking in Hades realm Reaching the bottom, I'm under pressure Don't surrender, I whisper to myself Afraid of my obsessions taking over If silence interferes with judgment My sanctuary risks exposure If you could only see my reality in action The shifting ground, the constant noises The voices chanting hate The shadows that haunt the light Looting oxygen and faith And yet I still have a bit of strength Hanging in there and here waiting For better days to come.
