Click hereA moments peace seems far out of reach
as if life was being syphoned from me like a leech
the rage blinds me with the intensity of hell's flame
sometimes I feel like the lone pawn in a galactic chess game
I am moved about without my knowledge or consent
confucious says bend like the reed in the wind, but I am already bent
I don't know how much more I may be able to take
for I am the last straw and I am ready to break
my mind races with different possiblities of what I can do
but all my choices are far between and few
if there was a dangling rope I would be at its end
there is no more material of my heart left to mend
I am a tattered tapestry hanging on the wall of despair
just a simple man clinging, but grabbing nothing but air
wondering, hoping for all the anguish to cease
wishing desperately for just one moment of peace

Anonymousover 7 years agoI can relate it’s like just a moment of peace is that too much to ask? I feel as though a certain deity refused to help me, and he is the one that is holding that dangling rope. I just wished I knew what did I do or didn’t do to piss him off so much either in this life or in the previous one, and I would also like to know what fucked up plan I fit in. I’m sick of his shit. Ever seen the first Toy Story? And ever heard of Sid Myers?
