DarkPoetry -|- Methos -|- Apathy.

Apathy.

The distant light fades into shadows
Casting one last flicker of hope
Before darkness bleeds within the room
Amass a blackened world I sit
It wasn’t always this way
I cared once
Long ago

Now a new drug fills my veins
Not one of powder or of pill
Not one you can purchase
Not one you can steal

Days hemorrhage into months
The essence flows deep now
Within the confines of my heart
Addiction has come to me
On fiery wings
It absorbs
My soul

A drug you may not know
A drug filled with hate
A simple wonder it seems
A feeling I need not relate

The end accession draws close to hand
Still possessed of my enslavement
I find peace with the fact
That life’s endless battles
Will destroy my soul
Long before

…my withered body falls.

This drug I have isn’t right
This drug I need feeds my blaze
This drug is simple to see

This drug I burden is Apathy

Wow. It's tragic that apathy is clinged to by so many, but sometimes it takes the sacrifice of elation to curb out the lows that consume you. A great write and one that I'll ponder over.

'The end accession draws close to hand' In apathy there is only sympathy from angels disguised as devils...thought-provoking poem!

Apathy was my vocab word in 8th grade. It has been beautiful ever since.

This had such a lyrical air to it and the frustration was driven home strongly with the last line. I really liked the wording of the second stanza as well. Very well done. ~Ship

It can be so hard to give a damn in the midst of hectic life but there are reasons to care, and I hope you find one soon. Good write I enjoyed it.
