They say the closer you are to light,
The longer shadow you cast.
In my pilgrimage, the saying is correct.
Each step towards the light, I’d fall.

Past remains the past, nothing can change.
I must live with the consequences.
The light stays in sight, hoping for salvation,
from the terrors of the world.

Regret is a word that floods the air.
The light shines through the darkness of each letter.
Waking up in such a nightmare,
Following the light is all I can do.
