Beyond Redemption

Beyond redemption

Alone destitute and not afraid
Fatigue, wear and tear weights heavily upon my soul
The tears only seem to strengthen a malignant resolve
As I care not where this journey may lead
Heaven or hell although I’ve had my fill of the latter
Release is imminent as I die a little each day
With every indiscriminate betrayal yet forgive I must
As I also except that no fickle mortal can ever care
My life has been a flow of constant miscalculations
Always hoisted on the petard of my compassion 
Truly a human folly
