Floating
on an ocean of chaos, I cry
For
help,
Desperate
for someone to hear my voice screaming in the darkness.
Trapped
in this never ending night,
I
fear for those who no longer cry.
Somebody
give me hope, in these last dark days
As
the moon starts to wane.
Give
me something to believe in:
Biology,
psychology, astrology
I
don't care.
I
just need someone who cares
About
me.
A
god who won't abandon us in our darkest hour.
Let
them nurture me, hold me, kill me.
Let
me hold on until I'm pulled into the deep, never to surface again.
Opening
my eyes, I see something that defies description.
It's
not darkness, or light,
And
I can't make out any solid objects.
Is
this what nothing is?
Am
I seeing the end of the world?
How
can I hold onto hope
When
even darkness has abandoned me?
Is
this the fate that awaits us all?
Am
I seeing the future?
God,
Wherever
you are,
Whoever
you are,
Hear
me,
Hear
the voices of those who can no longer speak.
Hear
us as we beg you to bring back the world we once knew.
It
wasn't perfect, It wasn't great, most
days it wasn't even good,
But
even in our darkest hour
It
was home.
The
sun crests over the horizon.
The
nightmare is over at last.
I'm
home.
And
yet nothing's as it should be.
When
I look, everything looks normal, but when I close my eyes
Everything
feels wrong.
Why?
I
thought things would get better.
Yet
no matter how much time passes, things only seem to get worse.
Have
you truly abandoned us
Oh
ye gods of the past.
Give
us something to believe in, in these last dark days
As
the moon starts to crest.
Give
us a god who can bring us together
The
way gods did not so very long ago.
Jehovah,
Yahweh, Allah,
Buddhism,
Hinduism, Wicca,
Or
any of the others.
I
don't care.
I
just want a world that feels safe,
A
world that wants me
Not
just for the work I do
But
who I am as a person.
I
want a community that's safe,
A
neighborhood that welcomes me.
And
most of all, when I close my eyes,
I
want to see something.
