Permanent Vacation

by I Seem to be the Heartless   Aug 5, 2008


Strolling down the walks of life,
I grow weary.
Why does this path to eternity
Seem to be so long?
Why does this road to oblivion
Seem to be so endless?
I have fought many demons
On this walkway;
Have learnt never to turn my back,
But yet this journey
Only becomes harder;
Tougher;
Less satisfying.
I have stumbled along this path
For years with no rest.
I have grown weak;
Weary;
Tired;
Old.
I cannot take another step -
I just want to rest.
I cannot fight off these demons -
I just want some peace.
And so, stepping off the road to nowhere,
I find my own paradise.
There are no endless walkways;
No demons to fight;
No broken promises;
No empty beliefs;
No person to report to;
No reason to stay awake;
No false smiles;
No painful memories;
No more sapphire tears.
Yes, there is no need
To continue on this walk of nothingness -
I have taken a permanent
Vacation from life.
