Volume Three The Shadow of Despair
This is about how its all my fault,
A tragedy sealed behind an impenetrable vault.
Mistakes made at every turn, demons lurking behind every corner
betrayed by my own hypocrisy, perhaps someone should alert the coroner.
Blame it on me, my failure your scapegoat, often the whispered joke.
I can feel the sinking of gravity as it pushes down on me,
I can feel the clash of depravity as it wages it's war within me.
The battle cry, the song of death as one day I will take my final breath.
With each passing day, I fail to find the words I desperately wish to say.
I have lost my sight, I have lost my way.
Grew distracted by the web of life,
mesmerized by all of the flashy and fancy lights
and like a month to the candle, drawn towards the flame.
I can run on and on, going no where fast,
running in circles, chasing forgotten dreams of the past.
Can you hear me? Can you see me? Have you become lost?
“Lost within the forest of sorrow,
hidden behind the mountains of pain.
Hope becomes a treasure of faith.
A forgotten lore, a path littered with traps
riddled by reminders of all the past mistakes
haunted and tormented by the few regrets.
My spirit remains strong in this time of chaos,
The desire to live, too survive at any cost.”
Look inside yourself, for the answer to this question.
Should divinity be born as an obsession?
Run the gauntlet and strive for perfection?
Wake up, we are trapped within this illusion, this dream
and we are starting to rot trying to figure out what it all means.
Sealed away in this crazy house, it's a game of cat and mouse.
Born into this mad circus, a game without any purpose
when did chaos reign in order, a storm of war one after the other.
A lone wolf, a lone voice, call it's bluff and make your choice.

Deeply affecting and very high quality work :) can't even find a word that will do it justice right now but I love it. Thanks.

Thank you :) your words are
Thank you :) your words are way to kind, I honestly never feel I should deserve the credit if people are moved or touched I am glad but I'd never consider my work high quality hehehe
Nice...
Dude, this is very well written. Few people in todays world know how to speak as a true poet does, but after reading this Im convinced you at least have the right idea. I write in a similar, but different fashion. Similar because I just write what comes to my fingertips through my soul, though somewhat different in form. Still, I have enjoyed this poem. Nice work.

your words are way to kind, Thank you it means a lot to me when people tell me my art has reached them but I really do not consider myself as good as many people give me credit for. I simply write what I feel, I guess I could say I was blessed with some talent.

Its really good, i enjoyed it. Its all mystical and mysteryous, and yet sad and dream like. I hope your lost for long, you need to be found again, and come back out into the light. Hope you find your way back hon, cause its not good to hide or get trapped behind

Thank you, It's hard to
Thank you, It's hard to pinpoint a particular issue or problem when I write a piece like this. Since the symptom is so vauage it makes it difficult to pin down the cause of the "sorrow" or lost feeling as it were. It's probably just a funk I am in haha
