Now immortal fires burn
Step up now and take your turn
Hopeless now for you to yearn
Endless lesson, never learn
Look into the dark abyss
On your lips a demon kiss
Living in a joyless bliss
How’d it ever come to this?
Not too late to step away
Walk into the light of day
Fighting in the frenzied fray
Clinging to life’s edge
You stay.

Nicely done my friend.

Thank you! It was originally slated to be a dark poem, and then I just changed it to positive as I was writing it. Guess that was the right move.
