Alone alone far from my world,
I fly, a clueless bird.
A gust of wind takes me everywhere,
Alas I am heading nowhere.
Lost I am completely,
Weak are my feathers.
The purpose of my being,
Is devoid and dubious.
All I want to is sleep,
And sleep forever.
My heart does weep,
And cry forever.
In the dark night,
My words give me flight.
In the cold I shiver,
Many dreams, filling up a quiver.
The more I stay awake,
The lost heart feels the ache.
On the bed, I am sleepless.
My soul feels utterly hopeless.
I wear a bright mask,
Behind it is a face stark.
Tonight seems very dark,
Without a hint of spark.
I pray to God Almighty,
To set me on course.
In the empty night,
My mind shouts hoarse.
What I want,
I know not,
My mind is stale,
In a rot.
A dagger in my heart,
And I am killed.
Would it lie content,
My psyche unfulfilled?
Having a free fall,
Before it reaches the nadir.
It hopes to rise from the depth,
My soul, a Phoenix.

Nice read. I like the twist in the end. 'Before it reaches the nadir, it hopes to rise from the depth'
ReplyDeleteAnd I could totally relate to the 'What i want, i know not':P
You captured the depths of your despair very well...Like the phoneix, I hope you find your wings and fly agian ~
ReplyDeleteBest line? "My soul, a phoenix." So true. After every fall, the spirit wants to rise. Well done.
