A battle for consciousness subsides
As I slowly drift away
Escaping dreary nine to five
To where I’m unafraid
Unbeknownst traveling abroad
To a mysterious destination
Foggy roads trekked aimlessly
No plan or inclination
Iterant landscapes visited
Observed from cliff high viewing
Moving on determined steps
With tenacity my kenned renewing
Misplaced in noise woven and white
Hunting out my dubious standing
Questioning every decision I’ve made
Angst empowers a constant expanding
In stagnating limbo and impetus standing
Forcing actions I never could dare
Through quagmire city of stumbling zombies
Awakening instincts…somewhere
