Mindless

Waltzing around carelessly, trampling through the golden daisies, oblivious to the coiled up snakes, violently hissing.Blindly shadowing a group of prepossessing wolves, with their lustrous coats gleaming a snowy white. Sashaying along a busy highway, head down, eyes closed. 
You don't know where your traveling, you don't know what your achieving, you are stricken with grief, prostrated on the ground. Now, you mindlessly stumble around, no longer transfixed by trepidation. Mindlessly staggering away, forever scarred, forever branded. You are perpetually senseless, stuck in a cycle of forlornness, where you cannot abscond, trapped in a feeling of depression.

Your narrative, or prose (poetry) is a piece filled with emotion and pain. A pain I recognize, you have worded that wonderfully. Welcome to PoetrySoup.

Sam, this is a powerful and beautiful write. It made me think about people who've taken the wrong turns in life and who remain scarred, even though they were able to walk away. Amitiés:)

Thank you for the compliment, people do become mindless from the scars they've endured.
