The Horror

How can we salt the sunken earth of our missteps 

So to not fall further, revisited?

Why are these minds so perpetually pronounced

In all the wrong ways?

And why do we lose sleep at night,

Clawing at our cowardice?

 

Why are we so imperfect?

 

I fear that hope will not be present

In all that is deemed hopeless. 

But who does the deeming;

Those predictions screaming;

Who does the deeming of the fall? 

 

We are tired of being so terrified

Of our first step out of bed.

Exhausted and shrinking away

In the frightening bliss of day.

And we are so scared that this fright

Will carry on wholely into our respite night. 

Or infect our dreams, that they may cease

And turn time a complete blight.
