Deleted Member Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 No matter who you are, what you are, where you are, life and circumstance can put you on your knees. The problems seem insurmountable, the path forward hidden, and no matter what you try there seems like there is no hope. There are people out there who can help, shine a light into your darkness and give you a way out, but they are not the only answer. You have it within you. Get mad. Fight. Accept you are where you are meant to be and decide enough is enough. You have learned the lesson. It is your life. Take it back. Tired hands clenched in the dust of a million broken hearts Head bowed as tracks of remorse line hollowed cheeks Breathing deep, shoulders hunched, knees raw on floor The darkness hides the terrors of those awful weeks What love was held in a ravaged chest Has long since flown on wings of despair His very being now just a shell of the man he was One second in time, fate had shown, there was no care He'd reach for distant stars in hope That once, dear God, just once, love could be found The risks and costs were weighed and dismissed Yet all he touched cast him back to unyielding ground Now the silence starts to rend, as growl of anger builds A head, once proud, can lower no more A throat still bearing scars of tears long shed Tightens, flexes, unleashes unholy roar The night does pause, time stands still, as even gods take note Such sound from human lips like ne'er before Crescendo builds, *** is shed, but still it comes The anguished note of a man bereft of core Shadowed demons back away as figure rises to his feet Empty now, the agony of the fail is spent The flicker of a smile splits taut and dry lips The ability to truly feel is always heaven sent.
