Dread
Entering the tunnel of knowledge,
Thoughts spread like wildfire.
It's coming on again, the fleeting truth.
The irresistible temptation for change
Remember death, she says.
It is the moving force, the fuel
For the fire that rages inside of me
And yet it doesn't burn
I don't feel the heat
I feel the void in its place
Desperately try to fill it,
Or embrace it, spiraling into madness.
Does it ever end?
Thoughts spread like wildfire.
It's coming on again, the fleeting truth.
The irresistible temptation for change
Remember death, she says.
It is the moving force, the fuel
For the fire that rages inside of me
And yet it doesn't burn
I don't feel the heat
I feel the void in its place
Desperately try to fill it,
Or embrace it, spiraling into madness.
Does it ever end?
