CORRUPTION & CHAOS

FAITHE HALTTE

By ADRIAN PIEDRA MARTINEZPublished 4 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

Since the get-go

I've felt it be

I've felt it grow

Trying to take charge of my being

Day after day waking up knowing I cannot control it

It burned me down and I could not resist it

Even still to this present day

Ash still lingers

It falls the hardest every winter

For every hour that goes by

I become weary of speaking about its existence

I’ve accepted I will never be able to coexist with it

What is the cause, was there a reason?

Will I know when it's time?

Will I feel my soul crumble and die?

I do not want to spend my life waiting for a moment that will not
