Oblivion

Oblivion's a lonely place,
   Where no one wants to be.
   No ladder of success to climb,
   Or bathe in victory.
   Forgotten swirling mists of time,
   A lock without a key.
   Where out of sight it will remind,
   No hope just misery.
   Unworthiness without a thought,
   That stifles any plea.
   It neither recollects the past,
   Nor how it used to be.
   Insouciance with no concern,
   It's vacant stares agree.
   Oblivious, how it disregards,
   It's silent cruelty.
