This place is everything All I ever longed for Peaceful in its isolation No sign of human life An existence so serene Alone at one with nature Yet some nights my mind goes wandering And thoughts conspire to bring me down All these years that I forced myself to live in denial To forget the past The pains and tribulations I have had to endure Yet some things are not easily forgotten Have I given myself to this state of being Or is there something out there for me still Can I reclaim the life I lost Seek a new beginning Before I am consumed by memories And grow old in a place such as this Desolate, yet simple in its beauty Though I think often I might lose my mind If I stay here for the rest of my days
