I sought
Out of thirst,
Has dried up.
The mirage
I overlooked
Must have been
A river.
The shelter
I longed all along,
Has been
Abandoned.
The ruins,
I've been avoiding
Must have been
A house I belonged.
To get rid of
My ill fate,
I ran away from
Myself.
In a far-fetched
Place where
No-one could be
Seen.
I met anyone
To everyone,
To realize.
The toxic person
I was trying to
Escape was hiding
Within me.
