Silence.
Calm.
Regret.
Sorrow.
Goals
unfulfilled.
The slow deterioration
of the will
to live.
Here I am.
I sit
in disbelief.
I’ve lost
my nerve
a million times.
How did I
arrive
at this place?
When will
I find relief?
I wonder,
question,
and feel surrounded
by a void.
And yet,
I’m
still here.
I wake
each morning
to a new day.
I see
my dreams
are just a touch away.
I muster up
the energy
to try
to achieve
what is waiting
for me
to achieve.
Although,
the road has been
tough to travel,
I’ll continue on.
What is life
without hope
and what is hope
without life?
