Alienation

Missing the needle on my compass of sanity,

Lost in a dark and dense forest,

The harsh thorns of reality prick at my shins,

However, I seem to move along just fine,

Years of wondering and I am miles away from any trail,

My eyes have adjusted to the subfuscous ways of the wild,

Where I must pray on my instincts to keep me from harms way,

I brandish hopes of seeing a light,

Knowing that such a thing is only a figment of my imagination,

I continue to stray, searching endlessly for a path,

As my feet continue to ache as much as my chest,

My hands reach out, the palms meeting a rough surface,

As I come to a realization,

This place... is vacant,

I meander alone,

Deprived of love and affection,

As I sit and ponder what isolation has to offer.
