Catharsis!

"Longings of the night

Plight of the light

Dreams of the walking

Dreads of one, sleeping

And an existential crisis

Followed by

A scream

Off an abysmal struggle

Of being the creator, the immortal

The god

And being the creation, the mortal

The man

Staring at the uncertainties

Of being alive

Or dead, alike

They squall, and crawl

Beneath the hollow ground

Of mortality

And immortality

And yet, fall short

Of survival

At the face of

Catharsis, Exercised

By none other than

the naked solitude

Alas…!”
