As I stand, and I gaze
Through this dark and looming gate
I realize all of my fears
And all of what I hate.
The darkness reaches through,
And gripping at my heart,
Thrashes me within my mind,
Ripping me apart.
My eyes are dark and shaded,
My ears are blocked and deaf.
The heat scorches through my head.
The cold steals through my breath.
And within the darkened silence
I begin to view myself.
I see the raging storm within,
I know I’ll never quell.
The dark grey snow coats my mind.
My thoughts roll through like thunder.
The life I lead trips and falls,
An aging, endless blunder.
And the face that I see,
That lies there in the snow,
Is the perfect visage of me,
And where I now must go.
The places that I used to be,
The places that I see,
All of my old destinations,
Adding to what is me.
And now I realize my fate.
My one true destiny.
I am not darkness, nor am I light.
I am neutrality.
Now though the snow still coats my mind,
Perhaps it’s not so cold.
For now I know the single truth
Within the stories told.
Despite the rage, the joy, the pain,
We humans are all the same,
For we all are merely mortals,
And life is but a game.
