History

I think it may be time to stop,

I’ve had my say

and there’s nothing left to write

to show me another way.

I’ve tried to express my feelings

and clear my head

in hundreds of pages

that will never be read.

I am tired now and

I just want to rest.

I will try to take consolation

in thinking I did my best.

Where I can go

from here is a mystery

unlike the words that I wrote

which I have consigned to history.
