> *A new reality has dawned upon this icy, long night.*
> 
> *Extreme recklessness has left me broke, alone, blunted.*
> 
> *I look back; not able to comprehend no insight.*
> 
> *My mind is challenged, reality confronted.*

> *Believing I could reach heaven, how is that possible?*
> 
> *I had wings, heavy, where do they hide?*
> 
> *Now Drained; I was completely inexhaustible.*
> 
> *Empty inside, I weep, thinking I nearly died.*
