Evanescence

To linger
My soul that yearns for more
for the truth i desire to know
all this time i have lost
all these years i have been succumbed by another force
I intook, I embraced, I rejected
denial... Oblivion and fear
overcame and overshadowed
my mind, My heart...
Disappeared
how not to notice?
Burning up in my rage
and melting in the sorrow
to the truth i couldn't take in
this was my salvation;
No thought to thy action taken
a question i asked myself:
"Who am i?" "What am i?"
though no answer received
numb...
A blackness i had become
another being not me
swallowed whole by another world
sinking... Sinking below
and little by little unearthed
