Sulking in the shadow
Of continual despair,
Everything that I know
Falls from my hands into air
Open spaces calling
For me to run and escape,
My feet failing, falling
I can't leave this sullen place.
As I look to the sky
And wonder of tomorrow,
As I so wish to die
Put end to today's sorrow.
When shadows turn darkest, I awake...
Blinding light, becomes my sweet escape.

Sulking in the shadow
Of continual despair,

Open spaces calling
For me to run and escape,

And wonder of tomorrow,
As I so wish to die
Put end to today's sorrow.
When shadows turn darkest, I awake...
Blinding light, becomes my sweet escape.
I had the first quatrain written already, and I decided to wing it and just throw down whatever came out first. No real feeling was put into this, or it would have been better.
