I take a look around me and all I see is this cruel, sick world infested with maggots of lies and sores of hatred and bitterness

     There is nothing in this life causing this pain to stay with which we suffer, so why accept what is not acceptable as good and righteous

     My light, my only hope, is caring for those who cannot and that do not know how and those who once did and have had their light slowly fade away into the darkness of what we call sanity

     I feel the beast getting closer and each step is but a burst of cold wind of sadness that makes my light dimmer and dimmer each day

     I can see my skin growing pale from the icy chill of selfishness that is starting to flow through my veins

     The beast has bitten me only to cause such hatred and cruelty in my heart and my light is but a trickle of a glow that it once was

     One small gust of anguish could easily blow it out into nothingness that is life we call today

     I must remain here for if I do not then what is the fate of this world but to be left in complete and total black

     It is coursing ere closer to my light this thing this nothingness that everyone lives and rules by and yet it is not seen, felt or tasted but the fact remains that one cannot believe in a holy spirit

     Why must I prove myself time and time again only to have my wings pinned beneath the darkness and my light dimmed yet a little more each day

     Soon it will be gone and I will fade into the opaque society to which everyone conforms

     I am slowly drifting like a lily on a pond and I feel so cold like the Northern wind has come early in late summer

     Numbness consumes my light and a frigid chill overruns my body

     I am alone and left to feel no warmth any longer from my light

     How I will miss it and therefore it is lost and the beast bothers me no more

     I am consumed
