Nothing To Show

Guys this is the first time I am po(boa)sting my poetic ability
So guys don't judge me by the mood of the poem cause i wrote it while i was down in the dump.But sure I think this is a good read so guys go ahead....

Nothing to Show

Futile years of existence

Nothing to show,

Numerous attempts at excellence

Still nothing to show,

My lungs heave with a heavy sigh,

I'm standing on life's edge

Staring over the ledge

Down into a bottomless abyss

Yow, something in my life is really amiss,

I'm probing deep within,

It’s seems within my reach yet unable to grasp

Stuck in life's vicious clasp,

Every Move is just another arc in the circle

When the ends meet

I'm trapped inside

I'm trying to break free

And tired of this melee

Finally I have

But yet nothing to show...

Looking back I see

A soul trapped

Stuck in the void,

Knee deep? No neck deep

Gotta strike harder, push harder,

Bend harder, Push harder,

Then through the creaks

Stream the sun beam streaks,

Come on break free, cut the links,

Says a voice deep within

The voice I hear, the voice I follow

Ah! Ecstasy finally

Flooding my every vein, coursing through my blood

Drenched in rays of enlightment

Warming up in the heat

My heart skips a beat

Now I realize this is heaven

My son what have you done to show me, asks God

I turn behind, racking my brains

Churning my memory ocean

Still! I have nothing to show.......
