Silomasays

Those Dark Days

Those dark days when

Cumulus clouds clothe

Demeaning disaster dig

And meaningless mounds mount

On the very troubled mind

The mounds of your dead past

With scary owls perching

On their very own slants

A catapult pulls back the dark

To pave way for His Mercies

Which are fresh every morning

A troubled soul and a torched heart

Freckled with pain and sorrow

A burning mind with ill thoughts

Gyrating in circles of despair

A pierced body with dripping blood

Quenches your blood to your foes

A catapult pulls back the dark

To pave way for His Mercies

Which are fresh every morning

But my catapult seems broken

My dead self fails to awaken

My dusk seems not to pave way

For the dawn that I await with glee

All seems lost and ashes of my past

Seem to rise again

A villain I want to be and a worldy fanatic

My soul yearns to be

Furthermore, this life aint worth it

Again I implore

A catapult pulls back the dark

To pave way for His Mercies

Which are fresh every morning
