In the blinding darkness
The silence is deafening
The bitter cold
Leaves the body numb
In the dark night of the soul
Walking a path of solitude
To my loneliness
I unwillingly succumb
Inaccurately perceived by those around me
I am left blind; they too cannot see
My words misunderstood as parts not their sum
I am now speechless; they are dumb
A sense of Deja Vu
I have been here before
Met your soul with the sole purpose
Of gaining wisdom
With catharsis comes exhaustion
An empty vessel of a soul
But a feeling of ultimate preparation
For whatever may come
