White light fills the sky

Was my life just a lie?

My mistakes are closing in

No escape; I'll never win

Memories hidden deep below

Things left behind long ago

Penitence, something to me unknown

With that, my forgiveness blown

Nightmares fueled by darkness

Resulting in a life of starkness

My end is growing near

Left alone with my fear

What was once a dream

Is now gathering steam

With no time left to heal

It was all becoming real
