I Stand

I stand in the shadow of the sun
Apart from warmth

I stand in the wake of orbital radiance
Apart from the mechanics

I stand in the distance of history
Apart from the wisdom

I stand in the fiery grasp of hell
Apart from the End

I stand in the center of a nightmare
Apart from wake

I stand, yet I do not exist...
So, I fall to my knees
