The Scorn, pt.VI

A new day finally dawned

But, set before I could bask in it

I am completely destroyed

Agony in every step, every breath

My own cruel punishment

Twisted and merciless

I am drowning, vision fading

Why must I do this

I only have myself to blame

For my inability to move forward

Endless fall from the heavens

Just let me make impact

This sensation of terror

I plead for it to end

Outside, I am stern...cold

Inside, I am broken

Truly lost to madness

I wish this bucket

Could save a sinking ship

Every time a balance is found

Another leak bursts through

I cannot save this ship on my own

I am alone in the ocean

Plummeting for eternity

Ever praying to make it to solid ground

I fear that will not be

Blinded, I am

Unwilling to compromise

Degradation, separation

Grasping at fragile strings

Unable to withstand

Drowned sparrow...
