Sombre Fall, Burdened Winter - In Vain

In the times of my trial

The days slowly moved along

But nothing ever changed

I struggled to maintain what was left

Tried to find some peace of mind

Days filled with nothing

And no hope in sight

Close to losing all ambitions

I could not endure

In a deteriorating situation

Restless sleep

Again and again

I cried out in the name of desperation

Endless nights and shattered expectations

Haunted my day

I poured myself out

Tired of longing

Awaited the sunrise

But life could get no colder

I vanished into obscurity

No means of solace, no sign of liberation

In a hopeless reality

I could not endure

As life grew ever bleaker

Restless sleep…

But as I reflect upon time I realize

I made it through one of my worst afflictions

Carried through when times were hard

Found a meaning in a hopeless situation

Found peace by time

Through a somber fall and burdened winter

With my mind set I resolved the strife

My adversary can no longer hold me down

Because there is still a fire burning

I stand bold and strong

And hope to stay positive and live among dreamers

Experience the value of life through pain

Rise above the depraved

Ever vigilant, poised to rise against

Set sail against the wind

Rather fail, than never try at all

Reach for the stars
