Perseverance

Perseverance
The only word to describe the day
One word, the curb of a thousand verbs
Simply put,

I ran far away and ended up in the same place.

No hat tricks involved,

no circles nor tracks...

I just found myself trying to get away

another way

But unable to man-up or face… what came.

It was not me who outlasted the pain

In fact, it was me that befell it.

I staggered into its arms,

coddled its teet,

Cried out its name,

As the weakness I know all too well overcame…

And they used to call me sane.

They used to call me by name

Crying out from their pain

To gain relief from their pathetic lives

Well look at me now, friends and loved ones…
Are you still running blind

All I feel I have left is to wallow or die

And this day, all this day

All I've wanted were these…

But instead, all that came was the persevering.

One more day, one more test

You will make it the best

At least until all the rest

Falls into place.....

And because of that one final thought

Here I stay.

At least till the persevering

fades away.
