Dawn & Dusk

I have felt the weight
Of a thousand terrible tears
And felt the claws
Of my festering fears

I have looked my anger
In its red, cloudy eye
And watched as despair
Blotted out the sky

I have felt the grip of dread
Before a challenge begins
And the endless emptiness
After it ends

All this darkness
Set itself against me
But I used the battle
To build a better me
