The Day of HurtBearing the lead burdenThe Day of Hurt by ~NightofFaith
the living proof
of taking myself
so deadly serious
Day of hurt
Gray shadow valley
Seething painday
On-the-brink day
Draconian nightmare
living in my head
Lost my contentment
suffering in bed
Oh hold me
Oh hold me
Oh release me
Oh hold me
Oh hold me
God appease me
Asked so many questions
Too few answers returned
Blackfaced lonely collapse
Dragged and crash-and-burned
Rolled n' rolled 100 times

Embracing itself
Hope
Betraying grayfog sadstreets
Perking up amidst valleys
Living again in your gut
after tea and sweets
Faith
Recurring now in stranger moments
Letting up on downerisms
Letting up on 3D images
Letting up on untruisms
Love
Embracing faces once scoffed off
Reaffirming old outliers
Reconfirming meadows and mothers
Unfazed by former borderlines
Rabbitholes dig deeper
than you imagined or believed
