Into the Mist

Wherever I am, the world comes after me,
It believes not that I am but 
a transient traveler through the mist of time,
For all its worth I may one day 
drop the world like a weary Atlas
and forever disappear into the great beyond.

Thanks Laura. I had actually written 2 poems for this contest. I entered this, but looking back, I think the other one was better. Well, thanks for your comments.
