The Inevitable Failure
By Kenneth R. Cabrieto

     Isn't it sad
     That for some
     The real world
     consists of nothing more than
     An endless repitition of negative events?

     So amidst all this chaos,
     Where can one find the strength
     To go on
     When they know
     That what will befall them
     Will be nothing more
     Than endless pain
     And agony?

     Again
     And again,
     Over
     And over.
     There is nothing at all
     That resembles balance.

     Sometimes it gets to that point
     Where you just want to end it all.
     Sometimes you just can't deal.
     You're tired and out of strength;
     It's hard to hold on.

     Is it hard
     Or is it foolish
     To hold on to a dream
     That we know
     Can not come true?
