Relinquishing Despair
This hidden presence is an ever tormenting and loathsome anguish
containing no course that exists while bathing within this lasting force.
One century and two decades has been granted every soul to languish
without remission of conscience continuing this relentless palmy course.
Seeking to admonish life's concealed behavior with examined thought,
a distorted vision of mans frailty returns another haunting proclamation.
Laying waste to an expanded adventurous frontier, this soul being taught,
are toilsome yet disturbing and seeded lamenting of this universes creation.
Recompense being a virtue, this misguided spirit of pathological sorrow,
is finding ones route that must repose false confidence that lingers waiting.
Patiently exhausting until sleep gives no more mourning until the morrow,
awakens now this understanding of this ever present and corruptive negating.
Where is life's curative to this ever present resolving reincarnation of death
if life's work and training are for nothing with sentence of unanswered prayer.
One thousand years of honor is enough time having said with my last breath.
Mindful of life's mistrust, there waits rescue of the soul relinquishing despair.

I've lost all sense of purpose...
It's not alright,
I'm not ok,
I feel so
It's a simple concept really
Breathe in and then exhale
Then why am I here gasping
Air all around.......I pale
The crushing
