At the stroke of midnight,
I rose up against my odds,
Unheard voices and the threnody of life
Mood was like a sharp knife
I walked into the wilderness,
Got unfolded in my own sadness
As I ran deeper and deeper,
The eruption of my emotions
Threw me in a labyrinth
As I touched the plinth
I realized I was evaporated for-ever.
I get a sense that the situation described parallels with cutting oneself (“deeper and deeper,” “like a sharp knife,” “eruption”). I think that is one of the strong points about this poem. However, “emotions” could be replaced with something sharper, and “for-ever” seems superfluous. Just suggestions though.
