The destitute

One may rise, from the ashes like a phoenix
But the skies have no place to soar
When the heavens gave no head to my yearning call
The land is where I crashed and tore

A crater so large I could barely look out
Amongst the rocks I lay and cry
The tears flowed down my eyes to my wounds
Burned through my blood screaming to my God "Oh why!"

In this wretched place I fall back again
Feels like the beginning, no end in sight
Down in the darkness my shadows linger
Surround me, pull me down; no respite

This is where I belong, no reason to shift
When all I do brings me down with guilt
No matter how far I go or how long I fight
Never shall I escape "the long dark night".
