Constant Battle to Survive

 

I am at the end, the final curtain call
My life's journey has led me to this point
A moment of reckoning, a time to let go
To release the pain and turmoil that has consumed me

I have lived a life full of struggle and strife
Battling demons, both within and without
I have fought and fought, but now I am tired
Exhausted by the constant battle to survive

I have lost so much along the way
Love, hope, and happiness have all slipped through my grasp
I am a shadow of who I once was, a shell of a man
Drained of energy, robbed of my joy and vitality

And yet, as I stand on the brink of eternity
I feel a sense of peace wash over me
I am ready to let go, to find rest in the great unknown
To lay my head down and close my eyes forever

I am not afraid of what lies ahead
For I know that death brings an end to suffering
I long for the peace and tranquility of the grave
To be free of the pain and turmoil of this world

So I take my final breath and bid farewell
To the life I once knew and all that it held
I close my eyes and let go, embracing the sweet release
Of eternal peace and rest at last
