Suffering incarnate,
slowly spiraling towards death.
I conceive my own reality
from all of my broken dreams.
No longer the innocent boy as it seems
I once believed myself to be.
There is no hatred.
There is no anger.
Only sorrow and contrition.
For the life I thought could be,
can't be,
because of my remorse.
I'm doomed to repeat my father's footsteps.
Destined to be nothing,
whilst thinking I'm something grand.
Alone,
wallowing in my misery...
still trying to reach out my hand.
Author notes
I've always felt abandoned. No matter how much faith I have, or how close I get to God... I still feel this emptiness inside. I've known happiness a few times before, but it is an emotion so fleeting that I could not honestly call it mine at any given moment in my life. I like to pretend like it's all right... like nothing is wrong, but it isn't. And I don't think it ever will be.
Escorpios are driven and owned by their emotions. I have had tiems of peace on the surface, but the bubbling ocean of pain on the inside of me is what you see here. Every once in the while I have to tell the truth now don't I?
