A few weeks ago, I found myself, questioning everything in my life and
could not sleep, and I had this re occurring concept in my head. So I
got up and simply began writing. This is what followed. Ascent Down As
my alters falter, fleeing like scurrying rats Leaving this lost and
confused shell Not knowing whom or where to turn too? The broken and
disillusioned child is all that is left I dare not venture down that
path As I know the outcome An ascent down Returning to the gates of hell
A cave of loneliness and darkness Burning with the fires of emotions
Destruction of self, the previous outcomes, already determined Why now?
Whence so much progress has been fought for The demon battles and dark
morbid angels confronted Wasting in the aisles as this battered and
scared soul emerges Moving from a world of self-denial Acknowledging the
previous cobblestone pathways to emerge victorious The survivor, yet
once again facing the… Ascent down What has triggered this once soldier
of empath To consider returning to the realm of implosion Is this
another flash in the pan, testing my resolve? Or is it another ascent
down Ending in my final demise Where is my preceding survivor? Who shone
the light of hope for self and others Why now has his light began to
fade? I need to survive this ascent down As there will no return from
this last crusade, ‘sept for esteem or failure What of the coups? What
of the conquests that have been made? Recall with valour and pride alike
How far you have ventured and how much you decreed to others What of the
forages that you have embarked, never knowing of the aftermath? Is it
really time for the…? Ascent Down. I drawdown on my bankroll of strength
and resilience Cashing in my last hurrah, to grant my last crusade To
accommodate my esteem to its rightful manor Who shall bellow in the
great halls of victory…that the wrongs of others have been righted? Who
will halt this disease, this plague of youth? Who will stand with foot
on heads of the predators…victorious in this last crusade? If not, it be
I. I must end this Ascent down. For others less fortunate enough Less
resilient and seeking refuge in the bright shadows that I cast Providing
light and hope, like the beacon protecting ships lost in the night I
need to once again don the armour to protect the pathways for others to
follow Away from their own Ascents down. BearShark 5th April 2022
