Go Ahead - Can I Cast More Light?

My heart it's been bankrupt for many days, Many months to the point I've lost count And yet now I lean on faith and not hope sometimes more on one than the other. But between these two, I pivotal swing Pitying my life and questioning daily Why, why do I continue to loot my soul Of its future treasure, why do I yo-yo? Feeling worthy and good: and the next An empty vessel making nonsense noises Anxiety is a constant companion, It is a serpent coiling around my torso. Crushing my heart, poisoning my dignity I have felt penniless inside but a hunger Converses with the shadows around me And I say, go ahead - can I cast more light?
