Fog

murphyh72096

Looking through tainted windows

Peering through hopeless skies

Never stopping to remember

Why I felt the need to cry

I realize now I was mistaken

It was me that was to blame

For now though my faith is shaken

I know one thing stays the same

The world around me seems so broken

Darkness wrapped in bouts of flame

Have to sit around and wonder

Feels like such a crying shame

It’s crystal clear that I was lying

To myself and me and I

Friends and family still remember

Me before I lost my mind

Crossing paths with total strangers

Give me signs of wasted past

Now I know it’s time to wander

Walking down the wayward path

In the moment I accept the 

Truth in light of what was done

Tied to ground that’s full of cracks and

Staring at the winter sun

    A sense of hopelessness and darkness in this poem. It casts shadows. Nicely done
