With every step I take One more person I leave behind With every person, a solid memory And every memory, a newfound sorrow A hood pulled over my head, A piece of bread In my pocket, And eyes watching me I slowly leave all I know and all I feel. Old scars reappear, old wounds take form Cutting through mind and body Cutting to show How much I had and left. Every bite of bread makes me hungrier, A sip of water drains my veins. Hands tug at me Hoping, praying, that I will stop And turn around And return home. What home? I ask, Their only answer is a cry, a wail. I wonder who else will walk Through this sorrowful place Walk to seek loneliness Walk to find an empty place Now covered in tears I had once shed The cuts burn, the wounds bleed, And every step makes me weaker. More pain and more sorrow Is all that there was in the past, I will find a glorious place to live By myself So no one can hurt me No one can make me cry anymore And no one will know Who I am What I do Whether I am crazy or sane It won’t matter I’ll be long gone before anyone knows Or anyone finds out. I still wonder who else would walk Through this sorrowful place Walk to seek loneliness Walk to find emotionless space Far in the distance I see the darkness And with every step I take I can feel it inching closer. I look back for the last time At the eyes, the faces I can still hear their cries Their wails Their prayers Filled with human futility I look at my hands, My scarred hands, My wounded body and wounded soul I raise my fingers, touching my wet face I can feel the cuts around my eyes Burning my skin More cuts cover my forehead But no one else can see anything All blind to what they put me through Doesn’t matter, not anymore Soon I’ll be on my own I’ll be allowed to heal Sanctity Security For my self, my soul I can make emotions null and void I won’t need them No one else Will accompany me through this No one else Will bear pain for me No one else Will want to come to this world, my world I wonder who else will walk Through this sorrowful place Walk to seek loneliness Walk to seek emotionless space A world without a soul A soul, except one A world without pain Without the warmth of the sun Soon I’ll finally have My own solitary space No more pain, no more love, And no more hate to face. Mourn me if you wish You will never see me again Burn my memory if it pleases Because you burned me down, my friend.!!!My walk

EVERY STEP!!
I was never going to put this one up. I still dont know why i have put it up.
This is about how i felt for about 5 minutes of my life. The moment i finished writing this, it was all over and i was fine.
Sometimes, the mind gets overthrown by things you wouldn't normally think of, most of which are the most horrible thoughts one could ever have...I'm not saying that it is exactly what happened for the 5 mins it took me to write this, but it's something like it.
Hope you like this one. I called it my walk for no apparent reason. It's not really the title. I just felt very unproductive at the time of given it a title.
So no title. Just writing...
