tragedy of existence(mid night poetry part 2)

the road of yesterday

The Road Of Yesterday

These closed eyes have wept

Over the pain that I've kept

Realizing I'll always be far from perfect

I'm tired- just too tired

A moment of peace is all that I desire

Too long have I tried; too long have I suffered

I just want to collapse

And let these be my last footsteps

Allow me to give up this life that I want to forget

-

I've always been out of breath

But I still continued to tread

And I feared to look in the eyes of death

I'm sore- just so sore

A final sunset is what I selfishly yearn

Too long have I endured; too long have I resided within the eye of the storm

I refuse to ultimately break

I don't want to believe in the flaws of my faith

I won't be swallowed by this void that I have made

-

As I reach the end of my despair

I realized that life's fissures can be repaired

And when I shed that last tear I let go of my fear

There is still strength within weakness

It's the promise of seeing the brighter future that lies ahead

Out from the ashes; out from the darkness; I will cherish every moment

I've been ready to live my new life that awaits

I know from now on that everything will be okay

I just need to allow myself to leave behind the road of yesterday
