ADVERSITY

This week has literally been a nightmare at work as adversity has struck me in the face once again. I came home Friday completely stressed over all the events which had taken place. I lay in bed last night thinking about this and I came to a conclusion. This is a test of my manhood and my beliefs. Up to now I think I have miserably failed this test and I came to a conclusion which I have wrote down in the form a loosely written poem.

I thought I would share it with you and let out my aggressions and let the light of a new found attitude walk with me and pass off the anger to someone who can deal with it better than me.

ADVERSITY

I struggle with the demonic face of adversity
It rears its devilish looks and stare’s me down
Eye to eye I contemplate the reverent social consequence
And the impression which myself will be perceived

I turn blue in the face as I speak of mutual resolve
Walking into walls within this endeavor
As my voice is unheard and much to soft to be
taken to a level of seriousness

The humiliating words of chastising slow my ego
Crumbling under the weight is left a skeleton
of disfigured proportions
I glance back into those incubus eyes
As I turn and walk away

Creating my own resolve I distance myself
from the harrowing light of darkness
I seek a proportional altitude which serves
as a safe plateau from such discontent

I find no outward answers but only a peaceful
resolution within my own sacred mind
Restricted within these boundaries
I pace forward to new levels of manhood

No internal games will be played within this mind
Observation is detrimental if it seeps into your soul
Individual thought’s control my actions
As I turn away from the darkness, as the acceptance of true light
fills my soul with a comforting hand

I grasp that hand and walk to a distant land
Far from the evil which has tried to
turn this body into it’s own
Don’t look back, and never seek combat
with the prince of darkness alone

Have a great day and thanks for reading
