Resignation

Living a life such as mine

Is it living at all

Pain, sorrow and misery

The only constants I know

In the void of my soul

There is nothing left to give

No emotion to speak of

Isolated from the world

Like a leaf on the wind

Drifting through time…

I can't remember the last time

I shared an honest smile

Or felt the tears roll down my face

I would welcome happiness and sorrow

Just to feel something again

Oh I would love to feel

Deeper I fall into the abyss

Shades of black and gray

Overwhelming emptiness

Hides the light away

You will never again

See the light

Shinning in my eyes

Distant voices echo

Fragments of the past

Fading into nothingness

The hope that will not last

I see it clearly

In their eyes

Oh how they worry

My resignation

To accept my fate

I will resign to live

The life that I create

My judgment

To live within this shell

To live within the confines

of this mortal hell

They have tried to help me

Make no mistake

All I know is that

For me it is too late

So let me live my life

In my own way

I will live out my days

Until I fade away

Selfish indulgence

A much needed escape

An everlasting journey

Take me far away

Oh I will go there

Willingly

I welcome the change

Emotionless

The darkness which confines

Within this dead void

My empty shell resigns

Trapped in a dark and

cold abyss

The essence of my life
