Impotent Impetus

Musings from my lost years

By Pablo FalconPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

I can't focus on anything

Visions of blurred realities refusing to solidify

Amorphous renditions of Destiny

To what deity do I owe this discomfort

To what ends must I go to be free from this agony

Unreachable goals and unforeseen foes

Folly of mankind, spiraling towards an everlasting descent into madness.

Brain broken, words frozen

chipping my soul away

wishing for salvation

damnation stains my hands

Drifting further and further.

The sirens hidden in my darkness

Beckoning me like a current to my demise

No sunrise only suns setting

Beauty fades to nothing but cold melancholy.

I'm afraid that I'm nothing,

Or worse, nothing special.

No purpose

No reason

Mediocrity defined.

With nothing, as I have

I can obtain everything I am meant to obtain

What is destined, What is gained

Do we hold our destiny in our own mortal grasp

Or is it conceit of man to believe that our efforts can change the preordained
