A Poem For Me and You

Stuck in endless cacophony
Pain becomes the new monotony
In reality I hold no harmony
Instead I suffer in existential agony

A flicker, a light, stunted and faded
An epiphany has invaded
Try to scream out, but left unaided
My escape must be persuaded

Must push forth to achieve
A world in which I can believe
One which I can perceive
And not filled with lies that deceive

Every day I strive for things essential
To escape from a crisis existential
All choices are consequential
They must be taken to reach my potential

The beacon bleeds as it escapes existence
In my head I am alone with no assistance
The void comes and I can offer no resistance
I must do what I must for my own subsistence

Forgiveness is folly, my confidence struggles
A stab in the back, I can't offer any rebuttals
Vertigo as I confront my troubles
The ink flows into dark puddles
