The Echoes of Loneliness
Saturated in thoughts of better-off days
I reminisced and dreamed of my youth.
A whispered hush in my mind creates
a forsaken tune that cannot escape me.
For the cynic in me has risen and now
my essence is craving to be reborn…
once again.
Disempowered and sabotaged by my
own thoughts, I have opted out of a
life too good to live without remorse.
Toxic to the worst degree is always me,
and I am shadowed into a lethal dose of
venom that clouded my brain’s judgement.
This repetition of an acrimonious voice has polluted me-
and I shall be echoed in the chains of loneliness forever.
