Night thoughts - 5. - because why not

Ever relapsing into darkness

I sift blindly through my minds possible mess

Grabbing hold of what I can't see with strength I forgot I had

Envisioning what I need out of it all, I'm certain, moving past those things that once made me sad

With a spark of light, I see fields of dangers among my journey with a faint glimpse of paradise at its end

My shoulders ready to bare the burden of bad news, I'll carry on till my back can no longer bend

Slumped over, & dragging at points, progress in made, but slow...

High hopes won't always mirror my spirits as they, at times, hang low...

Each step is kept with a tear, from hope or hardship as life goes on, as it always will

We move toward the unknown, not always with clear visions of an ending, but simply to live, before we remain still

Stumbling near an ending, I hear such an angel sing...

My alarm...the day must begin again, in a way I wish it wouldn't

For my own sake thought, for others, it couldn't...

In another life, in a parallel universe where chance was on my side...

But...since this isn't that version of life, I get up, get dressed, & swallow my pride

Driving down the road I've seen more than my eyes could blink

I sit back onto progress I've made for plans, & the world seems to shrink...

"It isn't always bad, in life, so free, to be with stress at the brink..."

"It can change your being, what you see, & how you the think..."
