Shadow of an Entity
Akeldama

Pain

Is at the forefront of my mind

For but a simple moment's time

Although it seems to last forever


It will fade away with the wash of madness that fast approaches

My only fear is this:

Without the pain

What will

I become?

What will I become?


This instance of pain is my one and only memory

What brought me here to this moment in my history?

I know something happened

It's something immense

Strong enough to erase the pages of my life's story


When did I make the choices the led me here?

Where did I take the wrong turn?

Everything is wrong

I can feel it

I have become a miserable wretch


I'm left in a spiral of contempt

I hate what I've become

So I reach out to others, compelled to find compassion

Only receiving just a passing glance in judgement

This world around me; a mirror of my wretchedness


Yet there's one struggling glimmer of a thought

From within the deepest blackness

It claws at the edges of my sanity

Refusing to be sucked into oblivion


Within this vacuum in my mind

This tiny thought spins a tale of hope; a seed of possibility

I know it must be false but I can't relinquish it

It's giving me a sense that there's a purpose to this madness


It tells me:

There is someone out there waiting for you to change everything

An unrelenting notion that I must fight through this seemingly hopeless reality


But is it just the needles and the glass,

A catalyst for full blown insanity?

Is this world a perpetual winter night,

Or will the sun one day rise on a precious summer solstice?


This hope is a plague on me

One last strand to hold onto

In the center of my being

I just want to let go of this thing

Release me from this reality

Unbind me

The fabric of my sanity is

Unwinding


Fragments of a prior existence

Float freely in the limbo of my consciousness

Not a single one contains substance

Just a ripple on the surface of a memory


Everything has been shattered to pieces

Separated by a void that I cannot comprehend

This purgatory is a fate worse than death

I exist as the shadow of an entity


The void has come to coalesce

Ruling over everything I am

That which is missing has left such an emptiness

That my existence has been rendered purely meaningless
