Unworthy Charade Poem by Pondering Portrait

A swelling darkness
Seizing my tear stained eyes
Driving away my senses
Silencing out my cries

Holding my soul back
The only thing that remains
Vowing to never let go
The struggle worth all the pains

A futile desperation
An unworthy charade to please them all
When isolated into sorrow
In self defeat I fall

Trailing into destruction
Blinded by impulse I can’t explain
To seep into oblivion
And not face it all again
