kindred

the world seems to hate me
everything I thought was light
turns out to be darkness
I am consumed by hopelessness

there is nowhere to look up to
the skies are gray
and rain is far away
the song in me is dying
a piercing sense sadness loneliness
is overtaking me
no kindred to be consoled
I am alone in this
my kindred are gone
they have become
strangers
only the mind friend
a fake belief to hang on to
imaginary comfort
friendship
