Losing Everything
Losing everything I try to cherish
Every treasure has been taken away from me
Loss can sometimes be gain
And grief can sometimes be a relief
So many emotions constellate the firmament of the soul
As stars shining in different colour shades
The incorporeal layers which coat my thoughts vanish with the time
Astonishment and perplexity lead my life as I wander blindfolded
Even when I strive to refrain from anxiety
I fall into a bottomless pit of agony
Surrounded by torments and fears
I surrender to stupor and melancholy
And as I try to flee
The dreadfulness of life chases me down
I give way to exhaustion and despair.
