The Impenetrable Wall of Negativity
What always clouds are mind and what nags are soul
Is the simple truth to find our meaning through some long term goal
A plan seems to stick where only perfection prevails
But can one so flawed pick the right one of many trails
Not sure if I’m right I continue farther down the road
Although it just seems to get harder enlarging the load
However in this dense darkness I have two lights
A compass to cleanse me of my lost hopeless fight
Second I discover a map maybe I’m not just a worthless bot
But how do I tap into the potential of this reckoning plot
When I’m fully surrounded by some dark gloomy obscurity depriving me of sight
Pounded to continue I see no longer in me that burning light
For in my efforts to use my limited illumination
Deep inside my core I neglect all efforts darkening my situation
What point is there to try when failure is all too foreseeable
But still I go forth attempting then ending unable
All because of the abyss that resides within me and my negativity
Success right in front of me but I couldn’t see through pity
