Lost

The wind howls,

Its fiery tendrils ripping at my heart

With each sound

I am lost in a fog

Surrounded by unfamiliar voices and familiar aches

Running towards something

I know not what, but still I run

My heartbeat going faster

Beating harder

In harmony with my feet

Each sound grows as I go further


Now the silence calls

Even in the cacophony of sounds that haunt my existence

I hear the silence

It is gentle and still

It neither wavers nor disturbs

But it calls out

Louder than the voices in my head

Stronger than the hurt

Deadlier than the love that holds me captive

It pushes me further

Tempting me with the warm cocoon that is its dwellings


It is but a dream to wish away the voices

I realize this even as I am buried deeper

Saturated in the fog that is my existence

I have done this

I have welcomed my end

How annoyingly arrogant; a self serving satyr

What is my purpose?

Where is the future?

Why is the road lost?

How do I get home?

Where am I, who am I?

I am lost.
