Trying to think

Clearing the fog confusion
Facing the road of consciousness
I realized that I was searching for something
Which was a surprising thing since this road was new to me
“What is it that you are looking for?” asked an inner voice
“Something positive, to change my mood, to feel good.”
“You disgusting fool, you need an excuse to feel good about yourself?”
“No its not that way.” I answered defiantly
‘Or is it?’ was the question that ringed in my mind the second instant.

                                                                                    -Inspired by Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged”

Opening his eyes he saw darkness all around him,      
Peered he through it, to find out a way,
And he realized that darkness was actually made of layers of shadows.

(This poem is about a guy who has lost his love. The darkness symbolizes his depression and so it is said that is made up of the shadows. The shadows are her memories.)
