PAWN

 

into the unknown I went 

hopes up and believes intact 

journeyed with boldness and courage 

little did I know what was in store for me 

a few meters turned to kilometers 

till minutes turned to hours 

mornings into days 

months into years 

I was seeking answers and facts  

till I got to the point of no return 

where my conscience had already bade farewell 

my sanity had absconded unannounced 

I am left with the realities of myself 

my own very nature and truest instincts 

a journey which mirrored my real being 

for I am a damaged soul 

I am no different from a wayfarer 

who journeys on hopelessness and deceit 

now and I know better than ever 

we are all pawns in life’s chess 

but I journeyed on notwithstanding 

my trials and tribulations are already orchestrated 

life is a mocker and a jester 

we are worthless, a waste of emptiness
