How my soul felt

I am on a journey
To live a life without an atom of regret
A life marked not by pain but
By pleasure, love, bliss
All the beauties life can offer.

I am on a journey
To fill my gut with whiskey
Colour my eyes red
Like the sand of the Sahara
Till the earth swallows my remains.

I was on a journey
To live without remorse,
Without conscience of wrong
And never return right
And my soul felt naked.
