desperate

7laao0nywv4-jake-ingle

the world around me
crumbling carelessly
and there i stand
on the edge of despair

who am i if all is lost
why am i the one still
here and now as it ends
lone, sad and mourning

should i feel guilty
of making it all the way
or should i rejoice
for i am still standing

maybe i should look closer
as the world still spins
and it’s me alone, gone
clinging to hope

Temptation

The temptation to just let go of all the hard work I put into my well being sometimes becomes overwhelming. It’s too easy to give up. I find myself asking –  craving for the things I promised to stay away from. But I have to go on. It’s important for me to stay on the path if I want to be successful. I have to remind myself to be patient. Yes, it’s tough. But it is achievable. It’s not rocket science. I need to remind myself that success demands sacrifice. I need to be strong. 

worthless?

am i worthless now
to be discarded heartless
never to be remembered
ever again

what used to be confidence
is replaced with fear
all these eyes can see now
is failure

am i worthless now
with the world moving on
why would they have space
for news old

with these feet shaking
but with a mention of fate
seemingly agreeing
they can’t dance anymore

am i worthless now
for the truth is clear
what was once a legend
is lost forever

Plight of failure

​What is happening to me? My enthusiasm is wearing off. My hope is flickering fast. I am not able to see a recourse that I can take now. I am in this domain for the long haul. But nothing seems to be happening. I am in the same position as I was 365 days ago. I seem to have wasted a year of my life pursuing absolutely nothing. Am I in the right hands? Or am I being played with? I don’t know how much I know about my domain. I don’t know how much I need to know about my domain. I have blindly given the reigns of my life into someone elses’ hands. And now those hands seem concerned about other things, forgetting me. And I have no clue where I should go. Everywhere I look, I see darkness. How could I be so naive? I should have taken control of my life ages ago. Instead I let someone do that. The depressed nature of my being is disheartening even to others now. I see pitiful eyes staring at me. Random voices giving me advise. I see judgement in the eyes of complete strangers. I am absolutely clueless right now. And this is making me more nervous. Retreating me into a shell. I can’t seem to focus. Because I don’t know where to focus. How can I redirect my energy somewhere if I don’t know where somewhere is?
