Poem: Lost in a nighttime walk

I wrote this poem in my head while having a walk and writing it down as I remember it. Rambles from a mad mind..

Poem: Lost in a nighttime walk

Lost in a nighttime walk

I step outside,

it's cold,

it's dark..

What a perfect way to reflect my mood.

I don't know where I want to go, but I know I don't want to be here

I just start walking,

no direction,

no destination..

I take out my cigarettes,

and I know I shouldn't,

but I need it,

I crave it,

right now I can't be without it.

I light up,

I hear the familiar crackle and smoke fills my lungs,

for a split second I don't feel horrible,

incorrigible to everything I do to try and help myself

but it's only fleeting..

The shit just comes back and goes in..

circles and..

circles and..

circles and it just won't stop.

I want it to stop.

I don't recognize where I'm at,

but I don't care.

I want to get lost..

lost in my thoughts,

in the streets,

going from streetlight to streetlight.

I light up another cigarette and feel the nicotine rush into my head.

What a silly thing..

smoking..

Just another absurdity in this mad world I'm trying to understand.

I don't remember the last few blocks,

I don't know how long I've been walking..

I hope I get lost..


Have a good day..
