The Shadow
The conscientious charge of undeniable
energy redeemed into a pendulum of
forsaken thoughts. A stultifying paradox
of monotony and long-suffering in
an otherwise meaningless existence.
Mystifying, gargantuan gargoyles
parasitically ambulating about the
corridor of my mind, circumventing
any remote chance of ascertaining a
forgotten ally.
Misrepresented and misplaced
anecdotal colloquialisms accelerate
effortlessly about my life.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Am I?
