Black But Shining

Burrowing deeper down
To where life is stripped to its core
What lies hidden must be found
Letting it go, vanquish my fear
To what extent is life imposed upon us?
To what extent do we lead it?
I wish I could wipe the slate clean
I wish you all would
Enshrouded in darkness
My heart is black but shining
Falling into a lifelong slumber
Eager to face this dark night of my soul
Like timeless dreams
Reality reveals itself
I wish I could awaken from this nightmare
I know we all will
