Healing [Poem]

Healing

Such a long and arduous journey

Time, effort, a currency spent

Trying to reach the incandescence

The strenuous toil always in vain

Destined to fall back down

I grow comfortable with the abyss

With the frigidness felt within

I find solace in the isolation

I find comfort in misery

Greeting me again

Like an old friend

Drinking and reminiscing on bygone times

And the more they pass

The more I realize

The unwavering truth in front of my eyes

One never truly "heals"

We just accept the cruel fate

And become complacent with the pain
