Seek and you shall find it!

Pain

Am I out of my place?

To love, to fight for?

I thought of the world as a reflection of me

But it is not, no, not an ounce

Rather it has only shown me the dichotomies

Hate for love and complacency for commitment

I am tired of the lukewarm

I am worn out of trust and respect

You know the feeling when

You have to walk away empty-handed

After giving your all, yet not enough

Strength to restart, no that’s not there either

What’s left is my spirit

To reunite with its maker

What I feared that shouldn’t happen

Has come to pass

How can I overcome this?

A loss I say, but he doesn’t bear

Nothing has shaken or changed

Every day is the same

No difference does it make

With or without me

It’s the most excruciating part

What was I to you?

If the end was so written

Why then did it start?

Being in the womb and

Never seeing the sun would have been better

Experiencing the unanticipated

Can kill you or rejuvenate

Guess I have to live first to see

What will be of me

A part of me is already under the casket

The rest? You ask, I will say

It is disintegrating at a slow pace

Ensuring stings and gnaws every moment

Living-hell I could call it

Hope now, my friend is on

A distant future as I am running

Endlessly, I doubt if in circles.
