There’s no desire anymore
To continue along
With the same ideals
Beliefs
That have gotten my nowhere
Safe for stagnation
Dreary existence
Trip to last fall
Upon a minefield
I laid the traps.

So much I’ve neglected
The wasted days and nights
And if the light is too minuscule to see
All the prayers said
By well wishers
While good in concept
And much appreciated
Will fail
Unless I show the same compassion to myself.

The relief was an illusion
Just continuing to fill
An emptiness that couldn’t be satisfied
For the doubt has been exorcised
And I surmise that there’s clearer weather ahead
Manmade storms
Fate’s locks shorn
Warning signs ignored
As the years piled up
While I can’t go back to yesterday
I can make peace with it
For the present obsolescence
Drained me of enjoyment
Where does the deployment of future lie?
I’m not sure
But I’ve got a fighting chance
One breath
One day at a time.

P-1/10/19.
