Let go of Life

An internal struggle on the complexities of life

The same thing happens everyday.

Why is it that day after day, new pain after new pain, more eyes rolling past, that I still go?

Hang in there.

Never give up.

It will get easier.

Yet it never does, and I’m slowly sinking faster and deeper into an intoxicating darkness that welcomes me with open arms.

I’m tired of running.

You’re amazing they say.

So strong they jeer.

You are going to places they snarl.

Why believe the meaningless words?

It’s all gone in a flash, flushed away so quick its nauseating.

Tired of trying, of standing front and center only to be told it’s not good enough.

Life is tireless.

Give in some say.

Quit some scream.

Give in a sink down into the lowest depths of humanity other taunt.

Why give in?

Because something has to give, and if not this, then what?

Never quit… Empty words.
