Gloomy Ascending

Title: gloomy ascending

I'm a shadow drifting in a world of light.

I'm a traumatized mind living around monks.

I'm a wounded believe living amongst,

The righteous and holy.

My past never left my side,

Nor do the memories.

My past repeats over and over,

The more I try to run or look away.

A man seeking redemption, I am.

Drowning in my nightmares,

Creating fantasy to sleep,

Yet a tragedy it is.

Look for me as though I'm died,

For I'm shallow and inhuman.

I walk among you yet,

I feel like an empty alleyway.

I'm a bird without wings.
