Lost in the confines of the mind

I flail for a way out

Try to grasp a thread of conscious

Pull myself towards the light

Spinning further and further into the dark

The abyss, the gaping cavern of black

Pain, fear, doubt blending into something:

This raw and somehow erotic feeling

A masochistic feeling of pleasure

Laugh with a sick giddiness

Stubborn and unforgiving

The calm before the storm

I burst my way out into the light

Blinded by its potent power

I clutch it and form it into the Sword

I fight against the Shadow

I shall prevail: For I Am.
