The Damned

I sat by the water that day and reminisced a time when everything was uncomplicated. A time when we could do what we wanted without stepping on someones toes. I feel that people have become too sensitive. They find fault in all that we do and they lay the blame on the next person they see. What happened to our sense of adventure? It faded away with time. When things started to fall apart, we raced to cover our tracks. We created walls to keep the bad out but little did we know, we had only trapped the bad in. Here we were, wallowing in self-pity and regretting all that we had done when in fact, the finger pointing should have remained within. We did this to ourselves. It isn’t our place to judge others for it could only have started within us. The rest of the world stares as we stumble around, intoxicated at every turn. They mock us for it seems we do not know which road to take. We caused this blindness. Look at how far we’ve fallen. We mourn the loss of our inner dead. Yes, inner dead. Get used to hearing this. It choked on its own filth and died a long time ago, leaving us empty and confused. Depression set in and we never knew how to fight it. We cursed the Heavens for answers but it seemed like God himself had forsaken us. Perhaps we looked in the wrong places, or maybe we tried too hard to be something different for everyone else. It really served as an eye-opener when we gathered our thoughts and condensed all the pain and anger. We channeled it through the wrong outlets. It led us to nights fueled with poison and fiery hate. It took from us the very essence of life. Oh how we suffered then, and still do. But when will it all end? The answers lie within the mangled network of sense (or lack of) in a mind already lying in ruins. It imploded when we walked the wrong road. The Heavens opened and pierced our hearts. Time ran out for us as we trudged along like zombies, trying to make sense of the monotony of the remainder of the days we have left on this earth.

Herein lie the damned. The Ones He gave up on
