Awakened once more by guilt
I no longer fear what is to come
Knowing the struggle is over
That I will never be consumed
I stare down at the shattered mirror
And a smile is drawn to my face
Though the mist of joy surrounds me
I feel a sense of emptiness
I look around to all but light
And the forgotten feeling of fear returns
My serenity gone in an instant
I now stand hopeless
Wishing and praying
Looking for an answer
To my knees I fall
As tears re-stain my face
Knowing I am at an end
I raise my head to a glimmer of light
And my laments come to a pause
I race to this shred of hopeful reality
Fueled only by fear
Brighter the light becomes
And I understand it is my only exit
I reach the now familiar light in surprise
Because the man in front of me knows me well
I once again look into darkness
And as desperation flows through my head
I reach for the knife now beside me
Hiding it behind me
As I put on a smiling mask
I wave over to the man
And banish all remorse

You have to read The Other Side of Myself to understand this one
