These Bloodshot Eyes...

Stranded alone?
This is precisely where you belong,
Everything you thought of,
Every hope and wish,
Disappears like a mirage,
Right before your eyes.

Every road has an end,
Every dream has a wake up call,
Every summer is shadowed by rain,
Every flame with be ash again.

Take a crystal ball,
Fling it upon a nearby wall,
That is your life shattered,
More than a lifetime to solve the puzzle.
Nevermind the attempt.

Give it a thought,
How long were you happy?
How long were you sad?
The result of its subtraction,
Is always negative,
Just like one's life.

Self respect, honor, love,
All hokum and mere words,
Wrath, anger, hatred,
Feelings latent but most valiant.

Vent out as much as you can,
It'll only be back for more,
Misery's thirst is never quenched,
An addiction soon shall grow.

Blackened by lament,
Tainted with sadness,
This is your life,
There is no choice,
No mending.
Only despair.
Forever more.

    My dear friend!

    This is a wonderful description of the left plate of the scale. I know, I have been there!

    There is another plate of the scale, to the right of the pointer, where there are notions that balance the scale. I know, I've been there, too!

    Anyway, your job is exceptionally beautiful, you have a great talent!

    Thanks I guess.
    Actually I wanted 'hairyman' as my blog url but it wasn't available, so I just added scary before it since it was the first thing I thought of.
    Hairyman was my nickname in school :)
