Frailty of Mind

By Purposelessness

For so long I had been getting better
Basking in constant improvement 
For so long
Hope had returned to dust the beast from the shadowed corners
But I now realise the beast was neatly stored, ready to unfold and drive the light from the room
Drive the hope back like the unnatural, alien thing that it is
I am exactly the same as I once was
I am cold, the sense of drowning taking over the morning sunshine
As the clouds overtake my mind

    Thank you guys, I hope this one does serve as a reminder to be who you want to be and not who the beast chooses you to be.

    The beast, once banished, is diminished and not indomitable Purp. The highs and the lows, they comes and they goes. Cheers for this realistic and honest appraisal - Dan
