Vague Longings

Vaguely unsatisfied
Empty within
Haunted by loneliness
Future is grim

Needing fulfillment
Down in my soul
Desperate for anything
Losing control

Tattoos… Piercings…
Signs of the void
Sick of society,
By complacency annoyed

Counter culture
Dare-devil thrills
Drugs and music
Quickens, yet kills

Fast paced living
Abandonment, free
Yet in such bondage
In the quest for the key

Key to accept,
And be who I am
Throw off the trappings
Of society’s sham
