Out here, alone, I have come to realize In this bleak and foreboding landscape created to erase Begin to see, have I become, is it to be I haven't done what I meant to. How time was spent My illusions of autonomy extricated reason I have lived grasping for nothing, abiding by discourse Shattered into dust: scattered upon us

Consumed with my lies: entrapments agonize Impending fate rapes my eyes: awakening, I surmise And now its all too clear - in isolation This hectic life we live - in confinement With every step I took, no will to change I was moving backwards Awakening: it was all in vain But my dignity now, my eyes opened My shortsightedness lost: awakening The world we have created held little value I gave up the soul of my existence When I came to see, the lies had fallen apart I have seen what I’ve become - and wish to be no more.

Now gone - horrors converge Reborn: disposition reworked The futility of my work, all too late Chasing the fleeting idols Deserted land, tribulation, our collective realization I sought which did not exist Left me weak Drowning in my apathy Worn down to a blunt edge, coming to grasp my pointlessness A life lost, closing walls come into view: reborn
