Final and Forever

Lured by oblivion, you dream of breathing your last breath. Yet life's seldom found wanting when fairly weighed against death. Final and forever form a lasting combination. And suicide marks your soul for eternal damnation. Overwhelmed by fickle fate, you submit to pain's embrace. And masking reality; hide behind a smiling face. Haunted by unfulfilled dreams, your life starts to fall apart. But only time can numb the pain that is breaking your heart. And yet, under all that hurt, there lies a flicker of hope. And believing in yourself, you find the courage to cope. (Quatrain) 6/20/2015
