Into My Lungs the Murky Flows
Finding solace in the shadows,
Eyes burning from the day's glaring glow,
Looking inside for the flickering flame,
searching deep for something without a name,
Lost in darkness, the abyss taunting,
Clear thinking replaced by relentless wanting,
A voice in the distance, a whisper on the wind,
Insanity on the outside a manifestation of within,
Sinking deeper into the mire,
Clawing at the walls, reaching an inch higher,
Arms grow weary, breathing slows,
Into my lungs the murky flows.
