Reckless

How to describe what can not be explained?

The embodiment of numb is a life constrained.

Continual devotion at an emotional abyss.

Where Affliction and Self you will jointly dismiss.

An offering of sorts in the pursuit of peace.

Hoping to silence the pain that does not cease.

If the offer is sincere from your depths something born.

A damnable resilience towards all that would scorn.

Damnable? You may ask. Indeed this is true.

Cold indifference is a poisonous brew.

Bolsters resolve, but in turn rots the core.

Given time you’ll become that which you abhor.

How many of your colors will you choose to compromise?

Is a heart of stone deemed a worthy prize?

So before you persist consider this:

Is it personal growth when you cease to exist?
