My own personal Tragedy

By silentninja

My eyes fall open
Pitch black has swallowed me
My heart races to the sound of silence
Again I escaped purgatory
Of an adventurous encounter
Memory falls hazy
All I know is again
I am in the wrong

I can never learn
I am doomed to repeat the same mistakes
Over and over again
I study the process in every detail
I study the process in slow motion
I know every action
These mistakes become an addiction
I hate myself more each day

Everyday I am in the wrong
I rehearse each word
Even words that are not my own
In my personal play of tragedy
I act out every action
Perfect every syllable
I am exhausted every way possible
I can never face the alternative

I try letting everything go
I walk away to the end of of the earth
I then leap over the edge
Something always catches me
Reigns me back in
Now I prepare act one of tomorrow
The cast are effortlessly trying too hard
I am so ungrateful

My eyes are open
Ready to write the next line
I want out
My exit is locked
The key is broken
And the wrong people know
I am always in the wrong Can this life just end now?

    "The key is broken And the wrong people know" The wronged ones know too... :( Sucks. It's a long trod but sometimes you find companions to walk a few paces with.

    This speaks to me very loudly, specifically in the sense of making the worst decisions over and over to my own disbelief. I thoroughly enjoyed this write - thank you for sharing!
