I have never felt more alone
Than when I lie awake
Every night
In the darkened light
Of the knowledge that I have no one
My heart shudders
And my voice cracks
I have failed again
And the eyes of me are
Already bearing down
Knives in hand seeking to
Slice off neatly
What little leftovers
They allowed
Sisyphus is you!
They taunt
Continuely pushing
When failure is constant
The boulder falls again
Crushing my spirit
But I shall begin again
Reaching for retreating water
Grasping for the fruit
Of a growing tree
I have failed again
And knowing that,
That I am excelling in one thing
Brings me joy
That only a fool
Would revel in
And only a idiot
Would pass along
