Walden Without Thoreau

Misery abounds

It is everywhere here.

I am losing my mind

That much is clear.



If I don’t escape

I will go insane.

Since I think I’m absorbing

The fear, sadness, and pain.



If I keep my wits,

The corporeal me

Will still suffer greatly

Whilst others look on with glee.



At my wretched figure

In this lowly state.

Turned into an animal

Can’t stop now. It’s too late.

    I'm no Henry Thoreau, but Walden can be quite inspiring.
