It’s Always Night

I claw my way towards the light,

Fingers clutched in earth, so tight,

I see the end, the gates of white,

The end of dark is just in sight.

The light, it dims, as if in spite,

A cold wind blows with icy bite,

I cannot lose without a fight,

I feel my spirit reignite.

Even though the sun is slight,

A new day dawns, it’s oh so bright,

Darkness follows, creeping right

behind my back, it holds me tight.

Heavens will you hear my plight?!

Free me from this lack of sight,

I scream and plea, try as I might,

There is no sun, it’s always night.
