Insipid Journey

Resounding howl underneath my smile

Beckons solace for a spirit deemed fragile

Drowning in darkness of uniting eyelids

Hunting for comfort in a world so vapid

Lying down static as a fallen leaf

That’s lost its footing to the autumn breeze

I experience a numbness I fail to perceive

This seems to be the onset of a grand ordeal

Frost envelops the space where I lay

Conflicting thoughts commence to fray

Chilling reveries necessitate lament

An end-game emerges that’s far from prudent

Poignant memories overpower calm restraint

Fragments of hope appear to be faint

An impulsive action I can’t seem to comprehend

The noose around my neck - my loyal friend

A deep breath later I choose to plummet

Swaying and fluttering brings forth regret

Floating like a feather while gasping for air

An insipid journey halts without much fanfare
