The Scorn, pt.VIII

The Scorn, pt.VIII

A Poem by mhylands

Lost in the woods, I venture on
Unknowing, it is time I left
Held up for so long
Afraid to move on
I know this choice is best
Accepting the realization of ignorance
Steadily making the motions
Long ago, I was faced with this
Yet, could not force myself to see
Incoherent, still I wander
In a daze, a silent slumber
Pretending this decision was my own
When there never was
Identity associated to a false predicate
An existence incondite
Sealing off the lacerations
No longer shall blood be shed
Ensnaring the cursed sun from shadows
Embracing an apocryphal warmth
A once fervent passion
To be denied and forgotten
This forest seemingly endless
I know there must lie an exit
Searching for a way out
Feeling I have lost my will
It is for the best
To let go of this obsession
I shall leave this place
But, no one can say when I will
Finally be able to end this journey
Weary, these legs continue to move
Departing in solitude...
