From the Pit of Despair (just a piece of a work-in-progress)

When the walls around you are crashing down,
You're falling, but you don't want to;
So you claw till your fingers are blood and bone,
But there's nothing left to hold on to.
You realize that the world you thought that you knew
was nothing more than illusion,

And no matter how hard you try,
or how loudly you cry,
You can't wake from this nightmare delusion.

True becomes false, & light becomes dark,
You feel that you're losing your mind-

But it's too late to attack,
Once that knife's in your back-
And you realize you've always been blind.
