My Kingdom for a Map (sonnet)

A map, I say, my kingdom for a map
To show me which direction I should go.
A nap, I say, I'd settle for a nap,
I'll ignore what I wish I didn't know.
Some peace, I say, what I'd love is some peace,
A reprieve from the nightmares and terror.
Release, I pray, can't someone find release
From all the mem'ries that are hidden there.
Remorse, I say, why can't he feel remorse
For all the things he's said and done to me.
He must not be human at all, of course,
But a demon who simply cannot see.
Let go, I say, I must learn to let go,
For that is the way to healing, I know.
