Stranger

A stranger walked

into a dark, crowded

blank space

overflowing

with emptiness.

He knew everything

of the world,

he knew it all,

But where was he now?

He shouted out

to anyone

and no one,

only to be struck

with the shrill sound

of his own voice.

Consumed

by madness,

he collapsed

into a vortex

of shadows.

A stranger

to his own heart;

he knew

nothing of himself.
