Like a desperate fool
I carried my desolate self
from place to place
in search for answers
and for queries that were a blur
engulfed in layers of misfortune haze
And in the quest
to atone for my ostensible life,
I took my soul on a journey towards the dark,
and before I could make any sense
I was caught
in a whirlwind of muddled atrocities
created by a miscreant heart
I remained surrounded by gray walls
patched with rough edges of obnoxious scars,
and I was left with no one
but my overthinking mind
For my escape was from me,
from my thoughts,
the hopelessness,
and no one else
