What’s it all for?
The awareness’, realizations,
the epiphanies – the mind traveling?

It doesn’t feel so good to know
I’ll be searching for that answer
through eternity. Or that poltergeists,
incubus, malevolent spirits
and ‘Jodi’s’* are actualities.
Or that fiction isn’t always fictitious.
And truths can be worse.

It doesn’t feel so good to know,
where ever my essence goes,
as I continue after I leave Earth,
it will still be fraught
with uncertainties and inner conflicts.

When will it end?

I can’t help but weep at losing
an innocence I didn’t know I had…

What’s it all for?

*Jodi was the name for the pig-shaped evil entity in the book, 'The Amityville Horror'. Purported to be a true story.
