Unwanted Sacrifice

The hurt filled mind, haunted by the sacrifices in ones life,
Questioning their worth as the promised gains to ones dreams
Were never achieved ,
The soul aches searching through itself digging up the regrets it
Never known,
The regrets that lived chained and laid silently ,
Devouring the hope that staved off the disparity of failure ,
Devouring the love that allowed ones heart to dance to the
Beauty of living ,
Devouring his will to care for others he becomes alone
Committed to the solace of no longer connecting to others,
He embraces the false peace that has been conjured within,
With every step he takes forward he strays from what he is and
what he could be,
Under the false pretense Of challenging life itself ,
He becomes lost in a cycle of lusting for success but only
Achieving failure ,
Lost and blinded to his emotions he travels a endless road that is barren,
steaming with hatred and bitterness ,
Dreaded by the sorrow tears of his soul rain forth as he does not
Even know of his own pain.
Wondering this road aimlessly he becomes completely delusional ,
As he steadily abandons everything that made him great,
Becoming corrupted by his vices ,
