Times Read: 805
A sadness pervades,
It seeps to the core of me,
Trickling it's currents of pain,
It causes an ever present flow of sorrow.
I can't see the end of the day any more,
Nor do I know where I may find peace,
No place of sanctuary upon the horizon,
Not from this hopeless journey of despair.
Awash with grief,
I drown my own sins,
With the heartache of others',
Their hapless errors making good comedy.
But what laughter is brought forth?
None, save the sardonic,
Gagging on the noxious fumes of piteousness,
My eyes burn with tears.
Choked by the disgust at my plight,
And the acrid taste left by cruel deception,
I spit my firey words with venemous intent,
Though they are but soft lashings from an ardent tongue.
And well might my driving desire bring deep passion,
For it is my only respite from the mundanity of today,
My only motivator for the tomorrow,
But it always is the case that tomorrow is ever distant.
And so far I would travel to find the garden of serenity,
Across the lengths of this earth and away,
From the endless and weary battles I wage,
Against my own self- a war already lost.

This is so brilliantly written and honest. I love it because it reflects you and your acuity of vision, your keen and beautiful mind.
