JOURNEY
My heart is cut out by a knife,
My mind is destroyed by fire.
My spirit cannot rest because I refuse to die.
Deep I go down to the dark suffering,
climbing the mountain that is impossible to climb, trying to reach the top.
Every time I climb, I fall into the black peat of doom.
body and limbs feel heavy,
The blisters on my feet tell the story of my journey.
I am weary.
