Some paths you chose and some are chosen for you. sometimes the latter ones kill your soul while the body lives on...

 

Black tagged


Hundreds of doors all locked and sealed

with only one road straight ahead.

Either I march along, accepting my fate

Or be dragged across by my feet

Wise are those who win a losing battle

By accepting defeat

So with my path finally chosen,

my dreams laid to rest
I wonder has He forsaken me?

Or was this another test?
Routed thoughts trample

on the corpses of my dreams
screaming ambitions now chained within
ripping apart the fabric of my being
letting go of my never land
I swallow the poison served in goblets grand
As life continues to play its hand
A beating heart with broken knees,

Still alive, every breath a tease
tag me black move on to the next

I’ve said my piece

And you’ve paid your respect.

I hope you get many reviews for this stunning piece of workmanship. The subject is very dark in dire but the way you write it is very realistic and meaningful with many metaphors so eloquently done.
