Profound Whispers

Lost.

≿━━━━༺❀༺━━━≾

Wandering through the dense forest, I stand alone,
Among companions, none knows where my path is sown.

Through twisted trees, I circle, my steps betray,
Countless roads and choices, I've lost my way.
Confusion's shadow lingers, Doubt's my constant stay.

Indecision, a wild beast, relentless in the chase,
Forces me down unknown trails, quickening the pace.
Expectations and the fear of Failure's face,
Hold me back, preventing me from seeking grace.

Shame and Embarrassment appear from time to time,
But a greater foe lurks, more boundless, more prime.
Time, relentless, commands the clock's cruel chime.

Time, a heartless tyrant, inescapable, it leads,
Demands I follow, without respite or heed.
My moments it gives, then takes away with greed.

Time's the reason I can't follow Desire's call,
It makes Failure seem more dreadful, looming tall.
Indecision leaves me stranded, lost in this sprawling hall,
In this vast forest, I'm solitary yet enthralled.

I fear Time, I can't defy or simply dismiss,
Forced to follow its command, a relentless abyss.
A puppet to its strings until I'm lost in the mist.

I quicken my pace, race down yet another lane,
Hoping Ignorance won't trip me once again.
Indecision wounds my legs, but I sustain.
Confusion and Doubt fuel the fire of my pain.
Expectations threaten, but I won't let them reign.

With friends and foes in tow, my journey unclear,
I hope my aimless trek will lead me near.
Yet, I can't accept I'm lost, that much is very clear.

[A/N: Here I am with another free verse for all those who are lost in the forest of decision-making and can not fathom their different choices for a single thing. This poem has a lot of metaphors, but I do hope its meaning is clear to you all. We're all being mocked by time, trying to make as much choices we can until time kicks you out of the game. But this poem isn't about the ones who do make the choices, it's about the people who don't know how to make one. Thank you so much for reading, I really really would appreciate your reviews on this. It gets a bit lonely coming here and seeing the views without any comments. Anyway, I really appreciate you reading this, have a wonderful month ahead! Xxx]
