Now I lay me down to sleep.
Tonight I am not alone; I have emptiness in my company.
It reminds me of this life of loss and misfortune
My mind decays, my skin weathered, and these bones turn to sand.
I can feel my hands fall numb.
I can feel my eyes grow heavy.
A feeling of sleep, seems constantly dwelling.
Will I struggle to hold myself up,
from the weight of all my failures?
Will I collapse under the force of all my fears?
I live defeat.
I feel it envelop me.
I’ve lived defeat.
I’ve felt it surround me.
From the shadows, comes an epiphany
It has reminded me that this is
The only life I have to live.
My days are what I make of them.
I’ve reached the epoch, my sense of purpose.
My worth no longer bound to my defeat.
Focused and steadied on my existence.
This will I found in my darkest of days.
