Excellence Award in the 'Write As Rain 2014' competition

CONSTANT complication,
never ending FEAR,
NO cooperation,
i feel my END is near.

NOSTALGIA for the land,
longing for the LIGHT,
i follow the COMMAND,
"STOP putting up a FIGHT!"

my mind is a distant shore,
a million miles away,
all hope is gone, i'm sure,
my faith has gone ASTRAY.
