Dark Destiny



I was born a seeker of the desolate,
Wandering in fields where
Serenity refuses to grow.
I possess a permeable soul,
Absorbing fresh shocks of anguish
That leave my feet frozen to the earth.
The depth of true despair
Is a flame that still startles
With its twisted misery,
Distorting reality,
Warping interactions.
And yet, knowing all this,
I continue in my mission,
For tomorrow is another day,
And another chance for redemption.

Sounds a familiar place; not a fun one, but your speaker describes it well. Because the words fit the situation, none of then stand out but work seamlessly.

I like the image,

"And another chance for redemption"-- that's what so many of us long for and indeed tomorrow is another day for that. Nice! :)
