Chronic Failure
Third in a series of inverse poems
Chronic failure, the death of dreams
Sacrificed to a life not what it seems
Milestones, like gravestones, pass unfulfilled
No degree, no job, just a mountain of bills
No thin, feminine body, no children or spouse
Expectations abandoned like a crumbling house
Mistakes pile up like bricks building a stone wall
The path forward paved with hardship, so why try at all?
A wayward soul no longer willing to trudge
Life creates its disappointed drudge
Waiting for the sweet release to be set free
That blissful state of ennui

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
