"The Triumph of Death" (Detail) Pieter Bruegel the Elder |
dark impressions
dark poetry
I feel that I fall
and I fall
I fall
Hands are reaching out for me
offer me their help
but when I try to take them
I have to see
these hands are bones
of dead
or undead
I feel the cold
and I'm scared
So I fall deeper
and deeper
deeper
into a universe
where the sun doesn't shine
and no flower can bloom
where tears freeze into sharp stones
An unknown land
without any light
where one can't see
and hardly breathe
dark feelings are stronger than ever
My inside cries
But in my scream
there hang the words
for me to hear
I will survive!
