POETRY



a worthless misery


a worthless misery
no one will miss
a failure at life, love and all
that take effort.
no more willing to fight,
drained of all hope,
no energy to channel,
to aid in the battle.
the time has come to end the war.
to give in and allow a peace,
the soothing calm of immortal sleep -
to be allowed to have this -
to be allowed to have this.
to never awaken and feel the pain of loss,
of failure,
of hatred,
of the war.



THE BATTLE


A quiet, for not even a moment.
Louder at night,
The cannon booming
Louder and louder
Closer and closer
Till the fight is upon us.



STILLNESS


the clouds have settled,
a stillness ensues,
the darkness soon to follow.
and a single lone tear rolls slowly downward.
leaving a hot trail.
the tell tale sign of a deep dark hole
deep in the center of the heart.



WHY


why should i go on?
why should i allow it to continue?
-allow the overwhelming sadness,
the intense pain,
the deep anger.....
why should i allow it
to continue to consume me?
I have the power.
i hold the control.
i have within me the ability to cease the constant cry.
to stop the tears, before they consume me.
to end it all now......
