The last drop.

At some point in life we have all given up on something. perhaps it has haunted you, or maybe it has faded away. constantly fighting the demons that ravage the mind, maybe the fight isnt worth it?

Caught in the enticement of ecstacy

encased in the wires

withering under wraps

overcummbered with disappointment

dreading the day

demons conqour 

conceiveing only that which confuses

confessing impending doom.

I yearn for the past,

fear for the future,

and cry for the present.

Drowning in sorrow

reaching for the hands of a ghost

reality slipping away

sinking to quickly

paralyzed with fear

finding peace momentarly,

examine the chains

and that anchor.

forged from a never fleeting dissonance.

void of the consonance.

I yearn for the past,

fear for the future, 

and cry for the present.

Broken at the bottom

every trace of hope,

fades away.

the demons have won.

A day dreaded.

Though lost in oblivion,

flame burned out

peace found.

the fight has ended.

this mind is theirs to keep.

though no longer me,

I am free.

I yearn for the past,

fear for the future, 

and cry for the present.

. this is a very powerful piece of writing ... because all of us can relate to this emotion ... we've all experienced it at one point in time or another ... i think things changed for me when i began to give greater importance to my momentum rather than to events and/or people ... i made eye-contact with reality ... and allowed it to unravel ... while not letting my momentum drop ... just my thoughts after reading your incredibly insightful and thought-provoking words ...

"I yearn for the past,
fear for the future,
and cry for the present." I loved this poem...loved these words in particular. Everything flowed, content was deep and so thought provoking...Sometimes, we are left with little choice but to face the truth and move on. When the fight has ended, we just know it's time..Thank you for sharing this intense poem
