devoid

of order

of meaning

accomplish nothing

ascend

in sorrow

in regret

acknowledge avoidance

face to stone

shoulder to earth

superior to fate

I am stronger

than my rock

awareness brings agony

consciousness is a tragedy

futile

hopeless

suffering

cast my eyes down the path I came

slowly out of focus

my burden fades

will I ever know the end?

crushing truths perish from being acknowledged

I accept my burden

I acknowledge it's existence

in stillness before action

I begin my descent

optimistic
