Never Give Up Life

I will never give up this new year!
I will veer away from a dreadful society
and trek into the wilderness
for the sake of my self preservation.

What sins and decay society is now!
Embrace the peace of nonjudgmental eyes,
or nonexistent eyes in the wilds.
I don’t care how alone I am I want solitude.

I once wrote the forest has eyes and tongues.
This refers to his the psychosis will follow me.
I accept this, however, no one will witness me
responding to these voices out loud!

I’m 37 now and I am exhausted and humiliated.
Society has chewed me up and spit me out.
So, my New Year’s resolution is to venture off
and never give up the fight for survival I will have.

Someday I may walk out…
Someday the writing I will do will be found…
Someday my body will be discovered by hikers…
And someday, my poetry will become known!
