Here We Go Again Poem by Axley Jade Blaze

Angels and Demons
Mania and Depression
Feeling afflicted
Tragic, soulless expression
Life is too long—
No, wait, it's too short
What am I doing?
Why am I here?
Sick of this world,
Withdrawn from these fears
It's a bleak little place,
Where we have no faith and no hope
And, even with those?
Existence is still a God damned joke!
Evil prevails
Every minute of the day
No matter the light
You can't pave an enlightened way
It's not worth my soul
And, won't get my wet tears
So why even bother?
Who the hell cares?
Remember that thought—
I've already explained?
How careless they are—
With our lives, in this dreadful game?
And, who exactly are 'they'—
Well, we aren't privileged to know.
Like everything else,
From this ridiculous show!
You know—life, that is,
The movie or book
The one that severed me
With a captain's hook
It's the truth about existence:
About this planet
About this world
It's the storybook ending
With a bitter, cascading eclipse
Yes, a giant black pearl.
