Headstall's Reflections - 30. Chapter 30 Prompt 1- Tanka- Darkness Falls
Headstall’s Reflections
Chapter 30 Darkness Falls
Have you retired
From a world that shames your soul
One you can’t look at
Without regret and remorse
Not so easy being God
Horror surrounds us
A world gone mad as we watch
Detachment abounds
And we bury heads in sand
Or live our lives on face book
Do we want too much
So much we’re never content
With just love and peace
Catered indulgence ruins us
For those who would give their love
I woke up with tears
Wetter than the rain outside
It’s storming inside
And my shelter is leaking
From the rips you left behind
I thought I was smart
That life had given me wisdom
Foolish man I am
To repeat my past mistakes
I have left myself no out
There is always hope
Or so it is often said
As a means to lend support
But I don’t want to be soothed
I’d rather let the pain thrive
Take take take take take
It comes natural to some
Loyalty? What’s that?
You will steal what you need to
Even if I'm on empty
Depression lives here
Eating me from the inside
Ignoring my pleas
We may be well acquainted
But I hate your fucking guts
