Content with Sadness (Free verse) by Blindproject217
It seems an oddity that they cannot see what I do, that they do not even
want to. They are so happy to be unhappy for the rest of time searching
for what they have already rejected. And as time goes on and you look at
me and sneer your soul hurts more than the day before. You want the easy
way out but your taking the rough road to find it. And now you stand at
my feet and beg to tell you what I already have. How long will you run
from truth, how long will you refuse absolutes? Just look at it, does
not your heart long for it? The way it shines when all else goes dark,
the way it warms when winters breeze lingers in your soul. Can you see
past the nothingness of this world and look past the treasure that all
else seek and be content with this.
It waits for you to embrace it, but as I look in your eyes I know that
you will not. You see what it will cost, you can see the burden and
trials that the rest battle with. And that does not appeal to your
searching heart. You seek a way to live forever and be with all that you
think matters. Little do you know that this burden that I lock inside me
is what keeps me alive, it is what keeps me awake in the day and warm at
night. If I was empty I would have long ago left this meaningless world,
for I have long since discovered the vanity and fakeness of this place.
This keeps me steady and unmoving, this is why I will not meet in the
middle. Two sides are drawn, it is for you to decide which will fill
that pit in your soul, the hole that sent you on this journey in the
first place.
