Der Mond
The lone wanderer
Lifeless,
Lonely,
Orbits through unwary voids.
Hoping to one day to find the light
Der Mond
Phases through emotions like the phases of Der Mond.
Drifting slowly away from the rest of the world
Helpless, desperately seeking guidance, Structure.
Der Mond

Shackled within invisible chains
Unbreakable,
Inescapable,
A tranquil prisoner waiting for death until I’m set free.
Der Mond
Sometimes in life
Some bad times might hit
Like craters on a clear surface
But Der Mond won’t stop orbiting
Until I’m set free.



This poem represents my journey through life and how that so far its felt like the same thing over and over again.“Der Mond” means The Moon in German, and what I mean by until I’m set free is saying until I die. The moon represents me because we both have the same daily routine just back and forth extremely unsatisfying but I’ve gotten use to it.
