The Journey

My vision has failed me,
The sites that raid my mind are of beasts and miseries,
Miseries indistinguishable from the joys of life,
The joys I’ve never seen,

The journey ails me so,
I find myself lost in thought,
I’m becoming thought-sick,
Tired of repeating the same notions within the confines of my insanity,

Contemplating life,
Life after death,
Death after life,
The mysteries we face during an onslaught of emotions,

When I sleep I see my mother,
My creator and salvation,
The bliss of unnatural life,
The bliss of unnatural death,

I awaken in a cold sweat,
Weary from the sleep that overwhelmed me,
I awaken into a lifeless world,
In which I see no future.
