A Challenge To My Mind

lost in the shadow 
lost in the world
lost in the smoke
lost like a smile from a schoolchild. 

astounding how easily we lose ourselves.
astounding how savagery finds it's way back. 

astounding how you look upon yourself.
astounding how you see only futility. 

I must soon declare war upon my contemplations.
I must hold fast to my last piece of lucidity.
I must solemnly smother my broken thoughts. 

my thoughts, not their wretchedness.
my wretchedness, not theirs. 

(m.e.)
