Once that fat lady has sung by m.n.i.w

I talked to God to find a way to maintain the beast in me.
Struggling to hold on to my last bit of decency.
Just looking for him to shed some light upon my darkest hour.
Wise words told me to find a higher power.
I'm laying low and can't achieve any highs.
Life puts me into predicaments
and I have no answers to why.
I go through the motions,
holding back all emotions,
until I feel like I'm floating.
Hot headed and absent minded.
Can't find common ground.
What I've found is a lack of love
and I can't feel or hear the sound.
Senseless because I'm numb.
Dumbfounded, but far from dumb.
I chose to believe in victory,
but I've lost all I've won.
I resort to the beast in me
and howl to the moon once the night has begun.
And all morality will be done once that fat lady has sung.

Makes me wonder what that beast is doing or compels you to do. There is not enough decency in the world, so if you an hold on to whatever small amount it is you have, by doing that, you help make this world a better place.
But this is indeed a good poem. Man vs. self as a means of theme is not so for no reason, as it's quite a compelling story. Even if the story holds no meaning, or holds no notice in any one else, me it inspire you, and help you recognize your true strength. :) |

All is not lost on you. Your write is evidence (and inspiration) that you are wise enough to resort to a higher calling when stuck in the muck of things.
All we have is ourselves, and whatever branch we can cling to to extricate ourselves from our errors of omission, denial, and arrogance. Be your branch God or devil, the pulling is still up to you.
Nice tale of the experience of sinking without knowing why!
There is one spectacular lesson in your write…
If you keep on doing what you are doing, you will keep on getting what you are getting. Something has to change; and who can we change but us?
A tale well told.
