Inside the shadows of my mind
I search 
and reach 
and try to find

I kneel
And dig
And scratch the black
Aching for direction
An answer back

What buried treasure will I find
What happiness
Motivation
Peace of mind?

Is there really any reason to be found?
What’s it all even for?
Maybe it’s just darkness
And dirt
And nothing more

Digging in the Dark

In a bid to escape my painful reality,
I lock myself up within the nightmares of my past,
All the while destroying every part of me.
