Lines blurred,
Smeared and smudged,
A pyre burned
I live a squandered life,
Beautiful collision between pain and pride
Blemished, yet I follow…
But to what end?

Striking and hauntingly reflective! That closing question? Perfectly placed. It doesn’t just end the poem—it echoes after it’s over. 💖
I feel the turmoil in this one. Great job.
