Poem I
When all I can do
is sit back and breathe
It takes more than hope
for me to believe
The light that should shine
Lighting my path
Is long but lost
giving way to the dark
I've long given up
searching for faith
The will to continue
it seems I've misplaced
When the dawn comes
and I'm left with the weight
all that's to do
is find my escape
Poem II
If I close my eyes
the world will slip away
and I will be able
to live another day
If I close my eyes
Things cease to exist
and I might just
be able to persist
If I close my eyes
it becomes but a dream
but they're open to reality
and its worse than it seems
Because if I close my eyes
The monsters will come
and if I let that happen
then I really am done
