Lone warrior

Minutes tick by, seconds go past me;
As I am engulfed in tumultous battles within,
A fire lit in me to free my chained soul,
Yet I stand a lone warrior in the sands of time.
Nothing deterring me...

A wave of nausea floods my ocean of joy,
Turning the waters grey and black!

A harsh truth dawns on me,
Friends turned foes,
Foes turned friends!
Reality is a living nightmare for me...

Drowning in emotional depths of introspection,
wondering how to untangle a tangled self,
Its complications' galore on Earth.

Dark shades overpowering humanity,
Values lost in translation,
Bonds left cracked and shattered,
Feelings left languishing in the prison walls of ego,
Is this what is humanity?
