Burden

You wake up in the night shaking remembering what was on the news in your dream,
But then you think...

An inner emptiness is apparent

on the face of a waif vending

I'll find a way to escape into the darkness, beneath the roots of the trees swallowed by the mud and the...

Possessing inner pain
I've felt darkness
Like a childhood friend...
