Distant Cry

So cramped up in pain
like a distant cry
a shadowless thought
for a heavy sigh
so many questions unanswered
too many stones unturned
life in itself is but a journey unearned
so i ask myself why
what am i doing here
why do i carry on
in shackles and in fear
this distant cry
calls to no avail
and life goes on folllowing
the same old trail.
