I look around

Franticly

For a beam of light

The wings of hope

For happiness

Turning

A heavy mist

A darkened sky

Obscure my vision

The shadows of my past

Have come to haunt me

I tear my gaze

And search again

For a hint of light

A feather of hope

An illusion of happiness

I am pulled deeper

Deeper

For the shadows

Of my true nature

Have caught up to me

I know now

That I am searching

For the unreachable
