I Errored

So this is the end?

The way my story concludes.

A life plagued by memory.

The last act, nothingness.

Alone.

No one can join this final journey.

Ironic.

Surrounded by friends in life.

Dying how I feel.

Lonely.

A fitting end.

For one who accomplished nothing.

Never amounting to anything.

Will I be remembered?

What will they recall?

How will I be remembered?

The selfless service?

From someone in need.

The kindness given?

By a someone needing to feel needed.

The love given?

By someone who lost his love.

Jokes made?

By a sad soul hiding his pain.

Nothing we do matters.

No one lives long enough to see their worth.

Doing what's right rewards those who choose wrong.

Leaving you with the pain of your loss.

Everyone dies.

Saint and sinner alike.

If you find someone who truly makes you happy.

Hold tightly.

Never let them go.

The regret will swallow you whole.

I let it go.

I've lived hollow since.

Find your happiness.

Live life for it.

It gives you something to live for.

Without it why try?

You drink to numb the pain.

It's never enough.

You try and try.

But life never gives you a break.

Life becomes pain unending.

You arrive at a crossroads.

One path tells you to keep trying.

Though the battle is up hill.

The other tells you it can make the pain end.

But you loose everything.

Keep fighting?

Or end your struggle?

The choice is yours.

Draw out the battle or fly your flag.

My decision is made.

The pain has won out.

Day in and day out.

Fighting against the waves of regret.

Maybe if i was a better man,

I would have fought harder.

But I am who I am.

I lost my chance.

Love in life is a lesson no one can teach.

It's trial and error.

I errored.

I admire how the lines are all in perfect places from the first line down to the last one.
My favorite line is, "Love in life is a lesson no one can teach.
It's trial and error"
Then the last one said, "i errored" and then the writing ended.
I love how you scope your writing with the raw process and feeling hopeless and that life is difficult, but life isn't worth it if it's easy anyway.

Also, I don't really think that it will end that way. He/she might be tired but that's why it's called trial and error. You just keep trying and trying until you get it right. He/she didn't lost his/her chance because there are more opportunities to come :)

Please keep on writing, you're amazing :)
