The Hell of Life Incarnate

The Hell of Life Incarnate

A Poem by Nightingale Silva
"

A poem I collaborated on with my brother, Kenesu. I wrote the first and third stanzas, and he wrote the second and fourth.

"
Perhaps this life is just a lie.
Just a blind race until the day we die.
Well, I refuse to run it, 
I'd rather fight it.
Grab the torch, set it, and light it.
Burn it all down into one catastrophic mess.
These are the dreams I must confess.

Confess to those who feel they know me for what they see
Though are clueless of what truly lies beneath of core
as what's set and stored is more than what's seen to rest ashore
as this soul
priceless
yet lifeless within the same breathe
as it struggles to fight for survival
yet lacks muscle and might to strike and keep sight of its on revival
so...
death remains.

The in-between struggle is worthless,
It's reckless abandoned.
Yet you try to control it,
You try to console it,
Try so damned hard to not abhor it!
But on the inside you're fragile,
Because your life is such a hassle.
Why try to look alive and breathing,
When on the inside you're just dying and seething?

With each day replaying the same scene of failure
to the point where.... learning to cope is hopeless
as it seems we're merely dying from breathing
Inhale the pain,
exhale stress;
Inhale what's left,
exhale death.
As desperate cries for help only fall to land beside myself
for standing in a puddle of my own shame
is where it seems I'm destined to remain.

wonderful opening.....catching lines...
Confess to those who feel they know me for what they see----> A declaration of truth.
The in-between struggle is worthless, It's reckless abandoned. ---> A surrender towards knowledge.

Though ending with a little salty eyes...really explained what you intended to...
Beautiful...
