fatigue

the silent fear of failure
one does not want to hear
clouded out by the crafty mind
yet like a jabbing pain,
it is all clear.

reality is blatant.
pale existence.

beads of water.
on my cheeks.
a blessing,
a kiss from the sky.
salvation is near.

betrayal.
shattered hopes.
a broken spell,
reality surfaces.

the thread of hope is fear.
