Like Dark Ages

My Hidden Victory

I cry so hard

It soaks my neck

The deepest sadness

Hidden in the dark

Like the water cycle

It evaporates

Only to re-condense

Above my display

To fall again

And again

Until my shadow one day

Gets to return

To immortal dust

A confusing existence

Spirit Undetermined

Waiting for the day

It all goes away

Like that weird day

After the parade.

About the Creator

josh tavenor

I'm a 46-year-old man who used to train people in Fitness/Nutrition and I was training to be the first Mr. Olympia from Canada but my career was cut short due to a car accident messing up my back so now I'm on disability Ontario writing.
