Ramblings

A heart now brazenly cold,
and a forever winter state of mind,
I no longer feel
love, empathy, or joy.
Too young to die, too old to give up either,
too privileged to complain,
and too selfish to fight for causes mightier.
Entrapped between a body regulated by
this society and nature,
and a mind too unbridled to tame,
often I falter
to make sense of every breath that I take in.
Even questions evade me now-
do I already know it all,
Or is it that I have never known anything?
As if this winter state of mind

is slowly gobbling me up
and I continue to surrender,
who do I live for,
what do I live for,

who do I love,

No, do not answer,
Your tamed answers doesn’t entertain me anymore.
