This Contender

This Contender

A Poem by Geminair

This "Contender" has been beaten,
and yet he still tries to fight,
even knowing, its in vain just adds fuel to the fire,
another layer of an eternal,internal war,
and another reason not to fear the inevitable.
There is nothing left to claim,no prize,no reward,no endgame,
time might be a healer,but it still leaves scars,upon scars,
unique gash's,holding everything else together,
like a clotted mess that stinks of desperation,
and mixed with a dash of pointless hope.
Each new wound a reflection of the one before it,
and an infection of the toxic holocaust that followed.`
Analysis,then realization that it is all an unbreakable cycle for this Contender,
created somewhere along the line, when love and war became the same thing,
technical knockout,looser by default,in a war that doesn't even have a winner.
The walking wounded have there own scars now,as a souvenir,
with the added option of an antiseptic,from a lesson learned.
This Contender left to his leveled environment,to rebuild,and heal a world,
where there is nothing but the dust of the dust,
the ashes of the ashes,
and a corrupt formula for another impending apocalypse.

Nice. I can totally relate. its funny how life can bring out the best and the worst in us, when the choices were always ours to make.
