Mark Wayne – Author and Warrior
Sometimes there is no justice only mercy
I’ll say it again the struggle is real and everyone is fighting a battle of some kind most will never see, so be courageous and be kind.

the abyss
anxiety and depression
an endless deep cavern of dark
indecision and self-loathing
that many
will journey through
the black
surrounds and confounds
terrified voices screaming in your head
searching and hoping
not one
hears the sounds
the angst
heavy and thick
a velvet fog covering everything
dank and suffocating
gray colors
shadow our lives
the abyss beckons
whispering
continuously
promising
false comfort there
Life is…, not what you hoped and planned for
Life is…, living, learning, loving and letting go
for fate conspires
to break our hearts
and healing only comes
once we are broken
a thousand steps
only to find
yourself sliding slowly
backwards drawn
invisible forces scheme
piercing the dark
reaching and grasping
clawing to the edge of the abyss
looking up and out
to the light
away from the dark
beginning anew here
believing and hoping
one small step right where you are
faith and belief
to begin again
the journey out of the abyss.
