Transient

Crawl deep within depths

What will you see, if anything

On hands and knees

Shifting rocks behind

Trudging on with stubborn dreams

Claustrophobia setting in

Shove the sides out

Your chest, now tearing from within

Hyperventilation, fear

But that's not why you're here

You didn't come to see how far

But to find something new

Something far from it all

And now you question them

The what ifs scour your confidence

This is a black hole, but no dead end

You took the risk, now finish it

You strived to better yourself

Where greed is the only name for it

This was never about superiority

But growth

Sprouting life and planting hope

Where can you go

When all has been explored

The details of everything

Deconstructed into raw data

The meaning, the beauty

Stripped when put in words

Every book, every article

The incomprehensible mapped out

What room is there to dream

When art is just a combination

Of colors and shades

Where poetry Is just

One character after the other

It seems so meaningless

So you left it all

Ventured from the light

Your eyes rendered useless

All smells combine

Senses fail

Your only drive Is for beginning anew

Risking death for what could be nothing

Some say you're glory personified

Others hope you rot in ignorance

Just keep your eyes straight

Away from light, from known life

Just remember one thing

You're reaching the end

Where you will find salvation
