What is misery?

A time where there simply is no hope.

A place where the rock simply won't fall over,

And rolls back down instead.

It is shrouded in mystery,

A love once sweet, but turned to frigid ice,

Or a loss leading to despair.

The emptiness that lingers inside

For wanted promises never kept.

She is whatever you want it to be

If only you can see.

What is suicide?

Just an end of one wild blue yonder

Leading to the next one down.

It emits to us a sensation

That skewers the hide,

Brands one for the millenia to come.

O' darling, how I do pray

That you will reconsider the rock bottom blues.

What is rejuvenation?

It is a reptilian trait in us all.

We all experience broken minds and tattered bodies

And yet can grow back anew.

Like a phoenix, God sets us a-blaze

And renders us to redundant ashes,

Testing us of our will and resolve

To see if we can resurrect ourselves.

What is love?

Simply put, it's the greatest power of all.

When the knights of darkness

Have inundated our plain,

It is that which sets us free.

Evil may rule the internal house

For a countless limited time,

But love will ultimately unsheathe its blade

And slay the demonic dragon,

Allowing its light and force to carry forward.
