and Blackness
Life is like a wilting rose of despair Trapped within the lair of sadness Wondering why all the maddness endures endlesslyBlackness deep within my soul filling my innermost thoughts clouding my judgement deeming my heartto the blackness of despair Sadness as it entwines my innermost thoughtsI look deep for the answers longing for some sign wondering why to burden me with such a fine all down the line of the sadness and despair of this word called life Why must it be so full of strife this game we call lifeIs there somewhere to turn? Where the innocent can learn before the sadness and despair take their turn Blackness everywhereSadness entails the blackness and pulls them into the lair of despairDarkness in the end rules over allentailing all to fall with nowhere left to callDwelling in the sadness and despair forevernever to return nor to learnBlackness, Sadness,Despair takes over vowing to keep youengulfed in it eternally never to escapeAs Death takes over second by secondhour by hour As the threepull me and others into itas they see fit till the blacknessdespair and sadness slowlytake what little rays of light left slowly flicker growing dimmer and dimmer day by day hour by hoursecond by second as i fall deeperdeeper into total blacknessdespair and sadness, As I long to be happyonce more, as i come to the realizationthat it is a dream to wish for nothing more as i soar into the death of the blackness sadness and despair till i am no morejust the blowing of my inner soul along through the night with the sadnessand despair and blackness that dwellsthrough the complexity of what is called life Finally i have found peace alone in the Sadness Darkness and Despair Where i longed for every second of lifenever to have anymore strife in this pitiful game oflife.......
