Dawn & Dusk

A lament

What ailment will I choose?
How will I suffer today?
On the menu of pain
To which side will I sway?

Will I choose the void?
The silent scream of sorrow?
As I put my dreams on hold
Once again until tomorrow

Or will I choose to take steps
To do the things that I love?
Then suffer the days of exhaustion
That will inevitably come

How will I suffer?
What will it be today?
For I know in my heart
There is no escape
