The Heart of Darkness

You fail, you fail,

and you miserably fail…

not because you are weak,

but because you were made meek,

and you live not for you,

forgetting even your own name.

You dream their dreams,

you fight their battles,

you carry their burdens,

you bear their wounds

that no one will heal.

You become the wound,

and lose yourself along the way.

Somewhere a star waits, you dream,

a mirage guiding you on,

but distance swallows its light,

and the darkness gulps you whole.

You fail, you fail,

and you miserably fail,

drowning in the heart of darkness.

You fail, you fail, you fail…

as giant waves rise around,

laughing at your fall.
