Readjusting my mind
a friend to understand
I wish to find

wishing well in a world
unkind
Why should I sit lonely

in despair?
Alone, I sit in this chair
trying hard to remember

“Life isn’t fair”
Finding myself shrouded
in delusions

conjuring my own
illusions
knowing I have many

confusions
with nothing left to barter
I am a fish out of water
