A Tormented Haze

in a haze of torment

a dozen thoughts raging within

helpless, lost

alone in the crowd

searching for that better way

for that less harsh day

and for that pristine, unattainable moment

when the torment and the strife and the rage and the sorrow and the loss and the wretchedness of the dark helplessness within

fades into nothingness

and vanishes into the distance

far, 

so very far away...
