Pit of Despair
Rakuen Growlithe

So here I stand, once again
In a place where all things end.
Roads and alleys leading in.
Not an exit nor a friend.

Miles of darkness all around.
I shake and cry – there is no sound.
Colours fading... Tears? It's raining.
All my fears. Pursuit! They're gaining.

Claw the sides. Climb the walls.
Scratch the surface. Start to fall.
Crumbling. Dropping. Sinking down.
Broken dreams. No solid ground.

My ladder built from shattered heart. 
Crawl and climb; must reach the top.
And what remains as I depart?
Can never look back. Never stop.
