Sacrifice

How much longer can I thrive
Where only darkness can survive
The fight against myself eternal
All the pain and suffering internal.

Depression, who I utterly despise
Welcomes my hopes early demise
The fiery depths, my paradise
My eternal soul to pay the price

If I could win the immortal fight
And reach up toward the celestial light
This wouldn’t be such a hopeless war
One my heart has yet to explore

Trapped in life’s unforgiving maze
Wandering forever if not for days
Pleading for escape that will never come
What will my useless life become?

Eerie light from a broken halo
Beckons me slowly from below
Shall I follow the welcoming light
Or should I fight it with all my might?

Losing all hope, then shall I
Allow my pain to linger or die
I finally give up to be concise
As I prepare my self sacrifice
