The Dark Inside.
A Poem by Mark Adams.
We don’t always get to choose
our paths. Other hands decide the
fates of many, choice departed.
Body and mind were as one, now
separated by walls of
darkness. Impenetrable.
Grasping at body, the mind
slips into the void. Trapped,
screaming to get out, to be
free. The noise, the shapes in the black;
they all conspire to keep
it hidden. No salvation.
Release the memories of
the past, except the fate.
Never again to know your
loved ones touch, to laugh, to smile
or to walk the world as one;
it is ended. Forever.
- Based on the events of “Tough Love”.

"Liberate tutemet ex inferis"
"She's my everything"
"It only takes one tree to make a thousand matches; it only takes one match to burn a thousand trees"
"There are worlds out there where the skies burning,
Where the sea's asleep and the rivers dream,
With people made of smoke and cities made of song,
Somewhere theres danger, somewhere theres injustice,
somewhere else the teas getting cold.
Come on Ace,
We've got work to do"
