Derangement
The mistake was mine.
Never knew a fathom would ever twine.
Like a noose leading to my destruction,
A fate like this was out of my deduction.
It all started in simple ways
A doe was caught within their gaze.
Destiny's lions started lurking,
With their glorious manes, they were smirking.
For their prey was naive and within law she abides,
Releasing their claws they went all in, attacking from all sides.
Diminished to bare flesh and bones,
There she was left bleeding all alone.
She gathered her remaining strength,
Her courage and will stretched beyond it's length.
For she was a fighter who saw the sun,
Even in days so dark, the moon had shun.
Searching for the lake of rejuvenation,
Little did she know, ahead lay more abjection.
Stumbling on her fragile limbs,
Off she went into a future much more grim.
Into the grid of happenstances' cavernous path,
Where the feisty winds blew with more wrath.
Like layers, unveiling one by one
Misfortunes fell as the fabrics of her remaining luck un-spun.
Her bones felt as though pierced with stakes,
Though her conscience was strong, her body was barely awake.
Trapped, she almost surrendered,
For everything she had known was unrelentingly rendered,
Wrong and fictitious, it was all an illusion and deluded.
She found shelter in a area so secluded,
One could hear their souls' cries echo past the wall.
She explored the place with her mind and heart locked in a brawl.
As a calmness of acceptance filled through her being,
She slept for the first time, without seeing
The shroud of delirium that had been her recent strife
Over her head hung a knife,
A knife of discouragement that tore through one's will
All that was left was a breathing hollow, that lay so still.
Defeated, the doe gave up her right,
To harness her strength and continue the fight.
Left devoid of all faith and devotion,
She let herself be eluded of all emotion.
I am the doe, and the doe is me,
For in the plight of such circumstances, one can't see
A saviour present no where in near sight,
In this darkness, one cannot find the light.
All I can do is lay here and wait
Soon enough this pain will fade and abate.
