UNKNOWN

There's a lump clogged in my throat,

Or chest.......I don't know.

I try hard to flush it out

But it still remains

A hard lump...never moving

Unconcerned of things.



I feel it deep within

This ache which haunts me

Day and night

I don't know what it is or

What it means

It's alien to my creation.



I don't understand.....

Not anymore

What's going on inside others

People I thought I knew

Are now worse than strangers

Too strange to even identify.



This pain, this ache, this strangeness,

Will I ever.... be free of this darkness

That surounds me

More than often?

The darkness that has become

My only companion...... my soul mate.
