Walking in Darkness

Much of her life was spent
In a muddled state of confusion.
She had tried to make
Sense of the world
For the longest time,
But had given up in frustration,
Concluding the logic of the universe
Was beyond her comprehension.
Being human gave her no insight
Into why others act the way they do,
Or why life occurs as it does.
It was all a mystery to her.
She drifted by as if in a fog,
The light of understanding
Rarely piercing the darkness
Of her mind.
Life just happened around her
And she was never at cause.
It was an act she put on,
Pretending she didn’t have a brain.
Yet she was as smart as anyone else.
Her brain just never followed the logic,
Or even deduced that there was
Such an order to the universe.
