Embrace The Void


   I'm sick and tired of the scream in my head, 
Flagellating myself over gnawing, aged regrets 
       The unwieldy armor, I've finally let drop;
   My arms too weak to carry all of the weight.

Extricate the mind from tightly-knotted strings   
    And release all the cumbersome burdens...
  The vacant sky, the unsqueaking hardwood 
   No longer requested; relinquish everything!

   Dismount from the precipice of knowledge 
  Where color and light cease to brightly glow,
       And find peace well-hidden in the dark,
    Devoid of so much as a spark, or a flame...

        For in the jet-black, bottomless deep, 
  The restless world lays down for a slumber, 
And in that abyss lies the only truth that exists...
                         Embrace the void.
