Well, I literally just wrote this one. :)
At Poets Sanctuary, the poetry site I frequent, the weekly challenge (which I rather enjoy doing as much as possibly) had a prompt of this:
This one might be a bit hard to grasp, but stick with me: Write about a situation or feeling of being lost--not simply without knowing where you are, but the kind of feeling you get as a child following someone you think is your parent until they turn around and you realize it's someone else. I'm sure some of you will pull off miracles with this prompt. ^_-
Not wanting to use a prexisting poem, and not knowing if any matched this prompt anyway, I decided to write it on the spot, hoping my emotions or lack thereof would flow true. Keep in mind I haven't been writing much lately, so this probably sucks. *shrug* Oh well, I wrote it in like, a dozen seconds anyway. :D
Abortion
Is it my fault I was led astray?
That my soul left long ago
In a field of gray?
Where, oh where, can my brilliance be?
When it is lost in a void of apathy
Who am I, this voice of doom?
Am I the face that smile back
Through the mirror’s gloom?
Am I the voices telling me to turn back?
Ripping, grinding, I cannot let go
Of a hand that never guided me before
Whose fault is it when a soul is lost?
Or when a tongue has gained a bitter taste?
Who can be brought to justice now?
For murdering the pleasure upon my face?
Was it I who lost you, dear dear boy
Or were you simply never inside me at all?
Do you cringe inside me or play so coy
Who will be held responsible for my fall?
Simply said, I know no truth
Only of winding passages
And somber wind
