adversity

  is all i know

grief

turmoil

accompanies me to bed

hugging me tightly through my

dreams

i try to fight it

               (it pretends)

to let me win

then

im crying again

                           ...this

sad

cruel

world

that i live in lays stagnant inside

my head

never to leave me

                  alone



bloody hands shake

fate

away

   yet it seems to crawl underneath my skin

my tears

are

lonely

tired of dripping into a downward spiral

and

so is my soul

    



              ....this

thing called  



              (life)

is taking everything from me

its taking everything in my power to

stop it

but defeat wraps around me

               gagging my relentless urge to

persevere



love drives me

but will it stay?

  passion rules my heart

but is it enough?

                   ....im not enough

to

make it go away forever

    continuing my failed attempts to succeed

              

            (ultimately)

driving the force to my end
