Failing

The year continues proving itself
A struggle;
The decisions made
From years past were not without
Consequences.

Time is no longer affording
Second chances,
Laughing at the wishes
Cast within the fountain.

Another day spent,
Shackled between the stones,
Irreparable and unchanging
Conditions without the way of
Escape.

There are days when
Death seems preferable;
Relishing the intrigue of
Resting in the bosom of
The unknown.
