Pain and Agony of The Unknown.

by The Masked Bard - Not entered

I sit in a hopeless dilution
  which is so unbearably dark
  and pitifuly cold.
Yet all the while, I painfully yearn
  for the neverending flow of precious
  yet fragile tears to wipe away 
  my childish fears.

In a losing battle I gasp for 
  clean crisp air and yet no 
  such thing is there.
Instead I breath in a disgusting,
  rotten stentch so strong that 
  even the most powerful would 
  trade anything for cleansiness.
My shaky hands go straight 
  towards my quivering lips;
As if that will help comfort me.

A sharp pain rips through my 
  boiling veins.
Air becomes thick like the fear
  in a dying deer's sadened eyes.
Reason and logic slowly drift
  from my body and mind.
A painful sorrow takes over 
  every last inch of my life;
I feel death approaching.

I do not know what i feel;
It could be glee like the joyful
  expression on a mother's 
  face after she has looked upon
  her newborn babe.
Then again it could be fear like 
  the fear hidden in feaverish soldiers
  who try to be brave.
Or it could be a sick mixture of both.

I do not know if I should fear
  what is to come.
Or should I welcome death 
  the way dawn welcomes dusk?
Yet this I do know and will always 
  hold close to me:
My best friend stood by me,
My friends made life tolerable,
My family reached out to me,
My tears comforted me 
  as the beautifully shaped 
  stars relaxed me,
And no matter what God 
  guided me and was there 
  for me every step of the way.

So, I suppose I should just go.
I will show little fear fore I know
  all that I love will always hold dear.
So, Good Night to you all and 
  may you have a wonderful life.
