Shattered Oblivion's blog: "Poetry, mayhaps?"

Y'know, there will always be a certain time,

When everything is hopeless,

You are at you lowest,

When the pain is just unbearable.

 

Pain, sorrow, loss, agony,

All of which,

Can lead to your own self-destruction.

 

When it is unbearable,

It is just far, far too easy to...

 

Say that you've had enough.

 

To scream and shout,

Maybe even consider a swift end.

 

Pain can be so extreme,

It can be so very excruciating,

That you feel nothing at all.

 

Creating a blackness in your heart,

An impenetrable darkness,

That blocks out your light,

And snuffs the flame of your will.

 

Sorrow can be so very deep,

That it chills you to the bone,

And freezes you from the inside-out.

 

Loss can shatter the world you know it,

And agony can rend your will from its roots.

 

Though light and love has a way of stepping in.

 

Just when you are at your lowest of lows,

Light will sneak through the cracks of the veil of darkness.

 

Splintering and shattering the pain,

Melting and eliminating the sorrow,

Catching you when agony rends your heart.

 

Love can come from the most unexpected of places,

Be it a family member that just knows you so well,

A lover that stands by your side,

A friend that has never failed you.

 

For every one of the pains that life brings, 

It also brings a chance of redemption,

A chance to free yourself.

 

You feel things such as pain for one reason,

To make yourself the best you can be.

 

Afterall, what doesn't kill you will make you stronger.

 

Even if you want so badly to do it,

To use that blade and make you life's light dim.

 

To just up and quit,

End the pain by no longer feeling,

By releasing your soul from it's mortal shell.

 

Even if you want to do this,

You will hesitate,

From lessons you wanted to learn,

Pieces of the puzzle of life you so badly want t put together.

 

The what ifs that circle your mind,

The pain you know it will cause your loved ones,

The fact that you know that it will only get as bad as you let it.

 

It is your choice afterall,

To feel the way you do.

 

Everything in your life is a choice.

 

Every single thing that happens,

Happens because you let it happen.

 

Anything in this world that you aspire to be,

All you have to do is have the will,

And you will become anything you want.

 

Everything you feel,

You choose to feel it,

Be it the loss of a loved one,

Or the mind-numbing pain of a shattered heart.

 

You choose to feel this way,

Not only that,

You choose to move on when you do.

 

It is as simple as it sunds,

Merely because of a single fact of life.

 

Everything is simpler than it seems.

 

The hardest questions in life,

Are only so hard because you overcomplicate them.

 

In stead of finding the answers right before your eyes,

You look through the marred glasses of,

Your emotions that drive you.

 

Rather than stoppig and thinking,

You act before you can truly understand,

You scream without knowing the full etent of pain,

You lead yourself to believe that your heroes in life are immortal.

 

Why not calm your heart?

Calm the torrent of emotions that,

Flood your senses and cloud your mind.

 

You are making your only chains,

You make these chains so heavy and impossible to break.

 

Yet you are the only one who can break them.
