i'm feelin pretty shitty right now and think of this as a fairly accurate portrayal. enjoy the entry (regardless of the circumstances).

Cries from Within

Forfeiting my faith in love,

I allow the darkness to consume my heart.

Memories of sincerity surround my true existence,

Desperately attempting to break through.

Yet the path to my soul has been blocked,

By the ice cold barrier of sorrow.

And still, a Ray of hope breathes—somewhere.

Chiseling slowly at the vault encompassing my needy spirit.

Cries from within are suffocated by the unrelenting tomb.

Yet, dreadfully they claw at their captor,

Yearning to break free.

Only hope can hear them and aid their deliverance.

Deep within, I beg for your hand,

To reach out and take hold the cries that seek you.
