Temerity of darkness within
Unwelcome the morning brightness
With disdain staring at sunbeams
Mistaking them to cage dreams
Roused distrust on life’s course
Feeble whispers from fallow fields
Stirring passive emotions are futile
Kind horizon tales are unheard
Every touch of life feels unwanted
A long unawakened journey
Difficult to stir true passions
Earth’s gloom is pervasive
Difficult for fallen dreams
Climbing across rough terrains
Without bleeding profusely
Darkness unable to heal
When potion blended with evil
