Renewal

What is this pain within my head?

Am I alive or am I dead?

Why am I lost in endless night?

What is that blinding golden light?

Who is that distant silhouette?

Recalled from memories I forget

And why do echoes beckon me

To walk into that light I see?

But why am I now falling?

Whose voice do I hear calling?

It’s dragging me, I’m sinking

I feel as though I’m shrinking

What is that rhythmic thumping?
What is this fluid pumping?

Why am I filled with so much dread?

What is that pressure on my head?

It pulls me from my waking dream

I open up my eyes and scream...
