Unflinching Soul

I am worried 
I am in despair 
I am tensed
I am in low spirits

My song sounded melancholic 
My thought turned pessimistic 
My emotion became lifeless
My life seemed purposeless 

My heart lost its rhythm
Cold shivers rippled my blood 
My pulse missed its beat
Vacuum nested every nerve of my head. 

I started my journey from somewhere to reach nowhere 
I found myself toiling in the sands of dreary nightmare
I continued my cruise on the shoreless ocean
Searching for a home in an unknown destination 

Life seemed to be a battlefield and I transformed into a weaponless warrior
Fighting with an unknown enemy for a mysterious reason

Tears were racing with the valley of blood
Anguish supplanted the graveness of a flash flood
Having fed with very little hope of survival 
I gravely waited for the life's arrival. 

Sailing unchaperoned in the gigantic world, 
I realised that life is a personalized game and the triumph embosoms the unflinching souls.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 1/19/2019 12:17:00 PM Your feelings poured straight from your soul onto a page always delights me. This is one of those times. I adore this line: "I started my journey from somewhere to reach nowhere". I hope my subconscious does not try to steal it and make her own poem. Down Trixie, down!
