My walk
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.!!!
