Never

You try so hard but life smacks you down,

Life laughs at you as you try to climb to your feet.

But as you have a grip on the ledge

It is pulled away letting you fall again.

Then it kicks you, and kicks you till you bleed from the mouth.

Till you have almost no life left.

You think it has left you for dead

But it’s all a sick joke.

It’ll wait till you stand up and dust off.

Then without warning it will beat your knees,

Until you fall upon them bloodied and bashed.

It then stands tall above you and mocks.

It does this until your mind breaks.

All ration turns to madness.

All hope fades.

All energy is drained.

You kneel as a pale white vessel,

A shell of a man awaiting the final strike,

But it doesn’t come.

You wait

And wait

And wait

For the misery to end

But it doesn’t

Nothing happens

You are left alone with only your madness to talk to.

All emotion spent, your body numbs.

You lose focus on reality, your mind slips into darkness.

The end never comes.

never…………….

Author's Notes/Comments: 

life is that which is evil. It offers you a hand then slaps you with it.
