Elegy of the Searching Soul

This a poetry about my search for my own existence in this earth. we are confused but that doesn't mean we are lost, it means we will just reach there a little late..

In the abyss of tears, I dwell,

Engulfed in shadows, a forlorn cell.

Drifting with grace, though obstructed still,

Seeking solace, embracing the absurdist thrill.

Amidst the chaos, lost, I ponder,

Does something ail me or am I just a wanderer?

No answer will ever suffice my soul,

Yet onward I march, believing I’m whole.

A destination awaits, not inviting but cold,

Yet its allure tempts, a tale yet untold.

Within, a calamity of humanity resides,

Curiosity extinguished; hope subsides.

Should I linger here, waiting in vain,

Or forge a new path, where possibilities reign?

Confusion veils me, just like the rest,

But dare I possess the courage to be the best?

This question now queries my very core,

A firefly’s history, dancing once more.

In self-illumination, can I truly soar,

Or do I feign tragedy to gain empathy more?

Reluctance, it seems, is my favored guise,

An optimization to truths I disguise.

Why can’t I fathom, understand the way,

Am I but a fool, lost in my own play?

Or do these actions serve to console,

A heart yearning for purpose, to make itself whole?
