Grief

Where doth layeth my vitality?
I experience nothing but insanity
Must I wallow here in misery
When I’d rather face the rain?

What untold force bounds me
To the depths of darkness around me?
Have I not yet found thee,
Blinded only by my pain?

The nourishing light I long for;
The thirst for knowledge too strong for
Me to capture a song for
What have I left to gain?
