A life not worth living

November 29, 2020

The feeling if loneliness haunts me like a shadow

With the memories of my past friends behind me as I hold the Glacier that is my heart

Once pumping with the feeling of being needed now frozen over

But always with hope that it will rise like a phoenix 

but as the image of my friends fade like a 

Dream the tethers linking to this world loosen 

as the cover starts to close this book ends 

Never to be opened but never forgotten

But to be sealed in a void of space and time 

To allow my story to continue on to what greatness could be 

But with brands of my past failures

And the whispering of failures voice bouncing around in my subconscious

Creating a weight that restrains me from moving forward 

Piling on until I break

And fall into an abyss and sealed away

Until my last book is closed and I can depart from this world

Carrying my unaccomplished dreams and my unfulfilled hope with me
