This is the opening piece and one of my personal favorites..

Ceaseless

I have no complaints
On my future, there is no constraint
But it’s there
Forever there
Lurking around each corner
Hovering over my heart
Waiting to envelop me
and return me to its chains

The darkness does not go away
Hope’s light may,
but the darkness does not

Battles have been fought and won
Demons have been slain
and ghosts have been exorcised
Why can my soul not rest?
What test have I failed?
Everyday woes in comparison paled
As my hands,
Reaching
Clutching
Grasping
Trying to stop my slide
But I can’t stem the tide and I am swallowed up
Hollowed out and crumpled on the floor
A spineless shell of the man I was before
A soul consumed
These demons still haunt me
These goddamn fears still taunt me
and I am gripped by sadness
if for no other reason than because I draw breath
