Solitude
I sit in solitude staring at the sky Speaking to the stars in space Searching for something
I sought to stop the sorrow that seeped through my skin Struggling to swim through the storm Screaming Staggering
Systematically sleepwalking Speechless At a standstill, I stay. Soon, I'll slip away Softly Into the smoke
A slave to the shadows sweeping the streets Steamrolling my surroundings
Silently suffering No longer surviving No longer succumbing to staying standing
I stop
Spared from my sadness
I sink
