knelt
heads bowed
numb..
sanity, lost.
consciousness, evaporated.
body, empty.
mind, disillusioned.
soul, vapid..
creeping frost,
asphyxiation
mental stasis
ravaged relentlessly
helpless.
calls for help,
useless.
alone
cold listless
obscurity.
seeks warmth
in vain.
freefalling from an icy cliff
without a thought in mind
happiness or insanity?
locked in
no use trying
there is NO way out
death,
the sole outlet
for these emotions
bleed
whipped with such scorn and hatred,
repeatedly.
look left
observing water snaking down the sidewalk's drain
look up
bird soaring into the great sky
look right
the free scurrying of cats
look into the mirror.
a forlorn figure, unrecognizable
a mere puppet
mutilated.
disfigured.
alas, tomorrow would be a better day.

its amazing that the world, much fabled for its wealth, is unable to provide respite of the tired, lonely soul.. as the saying goes: "cry and you cry alone". how true that simply sentence is.. it sums up society's selfish attitudes towards those who need need and solace, those who are lost, cold, hungry, sad or unhappy..
