every road taken leads to a dead end
always searching, always running
out of breath, broken body and spirit
stumbling and falling to the ground
on my knees grasping for the pieces
slipping through my fingers
all that was striven for
is all that is unattainable
can't force away the bleak realization
the weight of a desperate life
pain will spread throughout
crushing every limb and organ
it greedily taints all i hold dear
reaching toward all who know me
i retreat to the solitude and silence
the familiar surroundings welcome me
a small flame of hope smolders still
push through this cold dark reality
find a road yet unseen
break away from the shadow
that surrounds and consumes me

Wow. This is an incredible piece. It is very well written. It really touches me - and in many ways. I do hope that you see that small flame of hope and that it guides you through this dark part of your path. Very, very well done!
