psalm

Give me catharsis; give me peace.
Give me solidarity; knowledge;
Strength; rest; action; purpose.
Give me virginity; give me ignorance.

Destroy me; crush me.
Break me; hurt me.
End me so I may start me.

The past's weight will always grow.
I will never stop decaying.
The future will always hold fear.
I will never stop praying.

Remove this veil.
Let me see for myself,
So I may be consumed,
Wholly by the vast,
Unbreakable hopelessness.
