Self Destruction

I step up
Only to fall
Heels over head
Trapped in the squall
Eternity it seems
A night far too long
Hunted on plain
Seeking the dawn

Where is the rise
In the dark so still
To save me from self
My destructive will
Trapped in the gale
The eye too far away
Hunted on plain
Beyond twilight I stay

And what’s of escape
From one’s self
Heels over head
Nothing is left
For me to see
To recognize
Any part of me
Trapped in the wake
Between death
And the dawn
Hunted the same
By myself to me drawn…
