Shattered

SHATTERED Thoughts recede toward essence spent. Resentful, once vibrant blush has left only ashes. Determined to refuse my fated path. Evening sun, set early by my loathing. Dispossessed by fantasy, whose conquest shatters virtue and violates my soul. Disfigured by deceit, extinguished, and laid upon the steps of my dissension. Misanthropic saturation provokes baffled, irritated prodding to return. My course of purposeful distance is set, ghostly descent beneath horizons stroke. Sifting my remains, weary fingers comb. Desperate to proclaim my retribution. In meaningless, retrospective decay, diminished identity torn from me. Inertia binds, embedded in my flesh. Tethered by my unforgiving psyche. Residual shame constricts. Suffocates. My sentence, undetermined, renders death. Desolate voices place fragments. Perfect, they fall in context of absurdity. Convicted, I will into existence, Calm liberated from calamity. Repose, set adrift on haunted carriage, I task celestial deliberation. Choate, emancipated from its chaos, I orchestrate creation without form. Shattered, reality recedes from me. Fawless brake, I am rendered unable to discern what is substance of my mind. Insane!....and at my depth I surrender.
