Shayan Afzal

Intro:
the distance within is a poem that reflects on the vast inner world, exploring the gaps between thoughts, feelings, and desires. It captures the complexity and isolation that exist within each person.

Poem:
in my mind, miles stretch—
a road of echoes,
untraveled, alone.

thought drifts, unfound,
feeling, a shadow,
lost in the dark.

i am endless,
and yet nowhere at all.
