I recently wrote a poem about my daily struggles with life and wanted to share with you all. I hope this isnβt my last poem. I will continue to write as long as I live!!
I wander in the dark abyss of pain
Where life and death seem equally in vain
I have no courage to embrace or flee
The fate that binds me to this miseryβ¦
The gods and goddesses have turned away
And left me in this endless night and day
I have no faith to guide me or to save
I only feel the anger of the graveβ¦
I speak in vain, I utter absurd things
I have no hope of what the future brings
I do not know what sin has brought me here
I only know I am a wretch in fearβ¦
Am I a bad person? I never was
I only sought to live by natureβs laws
But now Iβm in this deep and dreadful hell
And cannot find a way to break the spellβ¦
If I could get out of this hell, I swear
I would write poems of the life so fair
I would praise the gods and goddesses high
And most importantly, the life so nighβ¦
