Within the Soul

words are wasted on the wise
drowned in light within our eyes
upward bound we find our lives
downward spiral does deprive
searching within for signs of hope
we find inside we cannot cope
lost inside our minds we find
darkness comes, we're going blind
hope never found inside our head
we find encroaching darkness there instead
