He searches for a way to endure
Through wizardry and science to confront his fears
Alone with his thoughts and wasted attempts
Again to consume this mix of blood, sweat and tears
Sanity growing more unstable
Along with the volatility of each amalgamation
Buried within his twisted mind
What he truly craves is quiet cessation
Injected with defeat
Within the bottle swirls the vile potion
Imbued with failure
Once more to imbibe this insipid brew of emotion
Admiring the half empty chalice
Formulaic demise leaves him lost in thought
Contemplating the fatal infusion
With no record of the solution he had sought
Consumed with this arcane chemistry
Trying every combination to reverse lost years
Throughout all that's given and taken
The only remaining constant is the factor of tears
And still he strives on and on
Searching for any way to weather and endure
He shuts his eyes and drinks the vial
A last resort for the final cure

Oh My VS.....this was deep, but no less profound.
The mind of a very lonely man, who has seen, to be found.
I was mesmerized with this one for sure.
Is there really a cure?
Great work.

Absolutely incredible. I don't know how you do it.
Keep writing or else,
