I have withdrawn from the world,
to seek solace,
escape from pain.
All this personal seeking however,
is in vain.
My life boat sank along the way,
personal belief systems crumbled.
I caught the football,
but then I fumbled.
Determined to understand,
to make a life for myself,
instead of something grand.
I’m still not sure if this was part of the plan.
A self-proclaimed clan,
standing on two feet.
Into the unknown,
I retreat.
