Defeated


When defeat is near it would seem that one needs to sit back and look at the situation clearer for so many years a man's life has been so dark until one day the sun began to shine again by the very moment the clouds became gray again he still tried to protray a happiness that easily engulf any heart but now he sees that not only does one just need uncontested love but a safety blanket to help manage time so he tries to rearrange his mindset so that his heart and soul won't be offset only to suffer from the same mistake that he was placed only because the only thing he knows how to do is love which is something that's hard for him to turn off but I guess it's time for him to pack up his heart and soul so that he won't be completely destroyed and even when life becomes hard it was best to avoid all that afflicted his spirit because all it ever did was create a wreary soul which has no control to withhold it's emotions from being toren for many days he would lay motionless because his mind always seemed to reminisce on what was instead of trying to balance pain with his happiness because he knew deep down that everyone that would enter his world would continue to forget about his presence but since he is so use to being left behind he just sinks into his dark hole so that he could remain hidden from the world because dealing with people's cold shoulders were just a waste because for once he was giving up on the chase for love with no one to have and hold he grew old knowing that his time was near for him to disappear from the face of earth and with no one to carry on his name the memories he created will get buried with him so those that loves with every breath in their bodies it's time to realize that the eyes you look into are not always truthful and the most deceitful thing you will ever know will share a room with you those who seek to conquer and destroy always seem to win but those that wants to live in harmony and love always seem to be the losers so it's up to you to choose what's your destiny in life because the blind will never be able to see the truth
