Betrayal Only Strengthens the Heart

My understanding, so narrow,

The flame that keeps me going, extinguished,

A guardian of my very own,

Depleted of purpose, uncertainty wandering within my mind,

Revenge can only achieve so much,

The simplest thoughts, so comical,

Numbness spreads through me, I can't even feel that,

My skeleton quivers at the thought,

Symbolizing as a divine existence,

Rumoured to be the most questionable,

Counting up the days until I am vanquished,

I carry my own thoughts,

An inescapable burden,

A discord between the mightiest,

Clashes erupt between the phantoms of the past,

Tingles run down my spine with anxiety,

At times, amnesia almost sounds comforting,

I vanish into the abyss as nothing but a ghost that haunts my own failures,

Regrets that will forever stick to me,

I watch myself fall through crevices,

I seal my heart away from harm,

A gap so wide that I can't even see the other side,

Am I truly so far from the end?

Ideals, impervious to the core,

My resolve has no bounds,

The night is a reminder,

Faith in a story with no end or beginning,

A fairy tale, a true desire,

Privilege exposes itself in the direst of times,

I walk away from my fears,

My breaths, stolen,

Even with so much air, it feels like there's no room to breathe.
