Troubled Mind

by Chris C - Taurus

A forsaken, fragmented puzzle
Atrocious appetites of apathy I guzzle
Condemned catastrophes creeping in my mind
Myself am I neglected never to find

Prying, endless questions without answers
Festering like legions of mental cancers
Awakening and awaiting each hour
For suitable solutions they timidly scour

Veiled in a void they endure the wait
Conjuring ceaseless hope, they never abate
Answers they shan’t find - no stock lining the somatic shelf
Searching is such a lost, worthless cause, much like myself

In pith of contradiction - answers I mustn’t know
What would then willfully wane to prevail as my mental foe
If and only if it were tediously and truly so

Reason for writing:

    thoughts and such...
