The Chosen Path

Grave filled with papers
 Illnesses and diseases around
 Words and numbers full of pain
 Like black plague sinking in to the soul
 Every day the same pattern
 Every minute same agony
 No reasonable escape, no clear path
 The loss of control over mind
 The stress induced aching inside
 Tired of trying tired of fighting
 The egsistence, the end seems determined
 Can’t escape the feeling of living on the edge
 on the borderline of redemption, the imminent escape
 Everything and everyone seems temporary, lost in a haze
 Life ruled by minutes ticking out, by things gone by
 Too much thinking, digging in the past
 Present day drowning in a sea of regret 
 Neglected duties piling up, threatening the future
 The unbreakable circle, the same routine 
 No pleasure to be found, no point to look for.
