Poem
In the twilight of existence, where shadows whisper secrets to the restless soul, Man seeks to escape himself in myth, weaving tales to hide his truth, By any means at his disposal, he dances on the edge of oblivion, Drugs, alcohol, or lies, each a mask to hide the fragile self within. Unable to withdraw into the depths of his being, he disguises himself, Crafting stories and illusions, each a fleeting sanctuary from the storm, Lies and inaccuracies, like gentle lullabies, give him a few moments of comfort, In the flux of consciousness, where thoughts flow and ebb like an eternal tide. In this river of dreams, I see him, a wanderer lost in the labyrinth of his own mind, Seeking solace in the myths he creates, a painter of unseen realities, His heart, a canvas of longing, each stroke a metaphor for escape, And I, a silent observer, am drawn into the melancholic magic of his journey. He walks through the corridors of memory, each step a whisper of forgotten hopes, The shadows of his past intertwine with the light of his aspirations, In the depths of his despair, he finds an appearance of peace, A fleeting mirage in the desert of his existence, where lies and truth converge. In the darkened corners of his mind, the myths take on a life of their own, Each a beacon of false hope, a star in the night of his solitude, He clings to them, these fragile constructs, like a sailor to a sinking ship, In the endless sea of his thoughts, where reality and illusion blend. Through the haze of his deceptions, a fleeting clarity emerges, A moment of truth, like a fleeting comet in the vastness of his mind, He sees himself, unmasked and raw, a soul stripped of disguises, And in that moment, the melancholic magic of existence reveals its true face. But the moment passes, as all moments do, and he returns to his myths, Comforted by the lies that shield him from the harsh light of reality, In the flux of consciousness, where each thought is a wave in an endless ocean, He finds solace, peace, in the myths that allow him to escape himself. And so, in the twilight of existence, where shadows and light intertwine, Man continues his dance, a seeker of myths, a creator of illusions, In the melancholic magic of his journey, he finds the strength to endure, A wanderer in the labyrinth of his own mind, forever searching for the elusive truth.
