Prisoner of light

I feel trapped in this light.
I beg you, darkness, help me tonight.
I see a world full of blight.
Husks chasing earthly delights.
My thoughts are not my own.
My voice is so loud, yet unheard.
My soul yearns for freedom.
Yet hope was a prison.
Am I the chosen? Or is this torture?
Lines of light hold me tight.
Waves of yore drown me at your door.
I once loved calling your name.
Now it means nothing.
You are nothing.
Happily away, I die every day.
I am the prisoner of light.
