Empty Era Poem by Dillon Gay

So alone, I suffer now
No one ever told me I'd fall at everything's life endowed
Here I am, swimming in the dark
Choking on the deep feelings of my ways I depart
Pitiful, I mistake for empty

Such disappointment in their eyes
Attracting maggots and glistening tears to fathom light for the flies
Hole in the sky, rays shining down
Gives hope to all the broken while trapped in this town
Era's here, but they promise it'll all be over soon

Now I know, wounds heal on their own
Time sweeps through and cleanses the experience and the unknown
Deceive me, show me that you can
Brute force does nothing to hurt this kind of man
Era's here, but I promise it'll all be over soon

The time is, the time is, the time is now, the time has come tonight,
Your hopeless situation turns to light.........
