Damnation
by Doortje, published on April 15, 2001
Desperately I try to climb up to the light of good again.
The harder I try the deeper I sink to my own damnation.
As I look up to seek hope in the sight of starlit heavens I only see stone towering over me as if they are the keepers of the gates of hell.
Even the stars are no longer meant for my dark eyes to see .
My tainted soul is no longer worthy of their magnificent light.
Suddenly I feel like I am drowning in my own desperation as I cling even more to the cold stone of my prison wall.
In my own hopelessness I only see one more escape path
Slowly I let my fingers lose their grip and I push myself over the edge.
I scream for the light one last time as I fall into the depths.
But as I fall I feel darkness claim my soul for all eternity’s to come.
