All Gone

Running from their thought,

my thought

thoughts of destruction

thoughts of torment

they race through their head,

and my soul,

all wanting one thing.

To destroy

my life, my soul

to demolish all

all I have created

all I have lived for

there is but one question,

when?

When will it happen?

when will I fall?

when will I be destroyed,

how long will I hold for

how long must I hang on?

I can't go on much longer,

clinging to this life, and,

and it's surroundings

yes, soon I will fall

my life will be broken

soul destroyed

all I lived for gone,

gone.

Wow. . . this was kind of a dark poem. No butterflies and happy endings in this one. However, I must say that I can relate. Especially living in the day and age that we live in. However I strive to NOT be so easily defeated. Through my struggle my life will have purpose and meaning, and no one will be able to take that away.
