Fatalistic determination!

Rainbows are like whisps of dreams,
calling out to draw me inside.
When we sleep our fears betray us
leaving us empty inside.

I wander dark streets and passageways.
Not knowing just what I am looking for.
The people that line city streets
have empty faces and eyes!

No one seems to care anymore.
Their love for me has been taken!
When the sun comes up in the morning.
No one remains to befriend me!

Your hope has all, but vanished away.
No one will take you inside.
Your condition is very incurable.
No one desires you to stay!

You’ve called all your friends and family,
but all they will do is look away.
At dawns first light you’ll move faraway!
To a place where there is no help or solution.

The gutters of the city streets
are flowing with bright red blood!
It makes no difference to anyone
if or where you will go!

The physical pain that you feel is so intense!
Your tongue is raspy and dry!
They’ve given you meds to heal your legs and feet,
But nothing seems to control the swelling..

All you can do is pack up and move.
You’ll face worse conditions where you go!
The sun my never shine on your face again!
Hopefully you’lll receive a just judgement.

There’s no guarantee that you will..
You’ve lost all affection for everything.
The promises made have all been broken.
You wonder if you will survive!

In the end they will send you far away
from all of the good you once knew!
It sounds very bleak and treacherous!
The conditions you face will be the same.

You may lose some of the things
that you love and cherish.
It makes no real sense,
but soon you will die!

The meds that they give you
are destroying your liver and kidneys!
It’s all in the plan you have made.
You’ve nothing to do or to say!

In the end it won’t really matter.
Trusts have been broken
and no no one understands your condition.
Your passing will be a good thing!

About This Poem

Last Few Words: I really don't care what anyone thinks or believes. The illness will follow me to the grave! The only friends that remain are going to be swept away. The sadness and hopelessness that I feel. Will never be healed or controlled. The medications received will not take these things away. I'll find a new way to suffer where I'm going. It won't make a damn difference anyway. I'll just climb in the black van and ride away. Forever is coming very soon. I can't wait to see the look on God's face. His merciless plan has affected me so unjustly! There is nothing left for me to say! Please don't comment or give advice. I just want to leave and die! I don't plan on ever writting again. The world and it's people can fuck off!!!

I cannot...

let you go without telling you, that you are still loved here at Neo. I do hope that you will change your mind and stick around.
I will still be here, if and when you do come back. Love, your brother in poetry. ~ Geez.
