ALONE

ALONE
 
What went wrong, exactly?
Is this even real to be in such pain?
Where are they all?
 
Both lights and sounds are absent.
Darkness is all I can see and hear,
I feel a tear running down my face.
 
Who is at fault?
No one, since I alone am to blame for,
 
Unknowingly, I observe the sun,
as it rises and sets each day in order to comprehend.
I\'m standing motionless and contemplating the meaning of life,
 when a mental fog begins to descend.
 
I lose all sense of time and reflect on my personal traumas.
What went wrong, exactly?
To be in such anguish…
