Desperate Revival (Free verse) by Silverjackel
Lost, in an eternity of sorrow,
I live today, but not tomorrow.
In pure despair and loss of hope,
With head held low, I began to mope:
I had given up, and now must cope
With the shame of no persistence.
Yet just as my woes inaugurate,
I cannot help but contemplate,
And as I fall to my demise,
I feel a will to compromise:
I shall not die nor pass away,
But rather on this earth I will stay,
A streak of utter reborn faith,
Despite all of my past mistakes,
A vow to reinitiate
The life that I had thrown away.
So what if I have lost it all?
My luck and perseverance may fall,
But on this day I now decide,
That all my failed attempts and tries
Although in vain and waste of time;
Must now all be forgotten.
Into the light I now walk,
No longer in agony, I talk:
I praise the ground, the air, the trees,
This new spirit inside of me,
Not sent by God, Buddha, or the skies,
But found through my new compromise,
I may have sold my soul, you see,
But at least I lost my agony.
