Ravaged

We all grow weary with everything from time to time, do we not?

You only live once, but you die a thousand times

If not in the body, in the soul and the mind

The world takes its toll, as it ravages all

And time bears down, and turns everything cold

You fight the shadow, and shine it with light

But you find the dark never falters

And so in this horror, as you grow older

You slowly give up

And die.

True.

~ very dark... but perfectly articulated... i don't agree philosophically as i am a happy cookie (on most days) but i cannot deny that this is a compelling read...

The meaning is there, even if it can't be related to. Thank you for commenting, it helps me get better as a writer.

~ yes... absolutely... the meaning is there... it's your perspective and you're an exceptional writer... all i meant was that i don't think life is a horrifying experience because of my personal experiences... i just have a different perspective on what it's like... your writing is perfect... there's absolutely no problem with your writing... and your perspective is valid... mine is just a bit different...
