...Called Soul

Have you ever thought you had no purpose? If so, this poem may pertain to you.

Masked phantom, hooded knight,
Why hide or defend thyself?
Shy away from mankind…
Lock thyself away within a stone castle atop forbidden hills…
To exist is not to live…
Knowing the need to be alive is of no concern any longer
You continue to exist with imagined content…
Despairing unaccompanied existence
That my friend, all you own,
Journeying in circles
Uncovering no more of the shadowed map
Called life.
