My last ode to you

The mist I know ............ Where am I In this world I still seek me, My scent fades, my mind wanders All I am is but a mystery A mystery more haunting than ever. I've seen truths Truths clearer than me, They made me wonder They made me ask I ask about the afterlife I ask about the future But wherever I go No answers come forth All I know is I have purpose But what do I do I still don't know. I sit here Covered in smoke and ash, Symbols of remorse surround me I stare blankly at my walls Asking for a voice to guide me If you listen closely I hear voices deep within me But they tell me how worthless I am They repeat each word Echoes like this dance before me All I can do is listen. © Adiela Michael
